Palak Poori

On the menu for friends get together is palak poori, malai egg, boondi raita, chilled mango custard and ofcourse PEPSiii   

Ingredients:

• Wheat flour - 3 cups
• Hing - a generous pinch
• Salt - 1 tsp
• Turmeric powder - half tsp
• Palak / Spinach -  1 medium bunch
• Boiled and grated potato -  1 big
• Onion - 1 medium 
• Garlic cloves - 3
• Green chilies - 3

Method:

1. Blanch Palak with onion and garlic. Make a puree of this.
2. In a wide vessel, add wheat flour, salt, hing, turmeric powder, potato and mix well , now add the palak  puree to the flour and make a dough, apply some oil , cover it and keep aside. ( add water only if needed).
3. Make small balls of the dough and roll them in to small circles with medium thickness, don't make it too thin otherwise they will be crispy.
4. Repeat the same process for rest of the dough.
5. Heat oil in a wok, slip in the poori one at a time and fry it until slightly golden on both the sides.
6. Take it out on a tissue paper so that it absorbs the excess oil.
7. Serve hot pooris with any side dish of your choice like aloo sabzi, chickpeas masala.. etc but guys do try this with malai egg, it tastes yummm.

For boondi raita , whisk some curd, add boondi , salt , and sprinlke some red chili powder and cumin powder and its ready.
