Category : Indian/ Snack/Meal
Preparation Time: 1 Hour
Serves - 4 to 6

Ingredients:
Wheat Flour - 2 cups
Rice Flour - 1 cup
Gram Flour (Besan) - 1 Cup
Whipped plain yoghurt - 1 cup
Turmeric Powder - 1 pinch
Cumin seeds - 1/2 tsp
Oil - 2 Tbsp/Oil to fry

Recipe:
Put together cumin seeds, green chillies, cilantro and 1/4 cup water in a blender and grind to a smooth paste. In a deep mixing bowl add the wheat, rice and gram flour. Heat 2 tbsp oil and pour it over the flour mixture. Add the green paste, yoghurt, salt, sugar, turmeric and ajwain. Mix well and knead to a soft dough (Just like the the dough for making chappatis). Add water in very small amounts to achieve the desired consistency of the dough. You may need to sprinkle some flour over the dough with kneading it. Cover the dough and keep aside for 15 minutes. Roll up small dough balls, with diameter just about the size of a quarter or a little bigger. Using a rolling pin, on a clean dry surface, roll the balls into pooris about three to four inch diameter, dipping them in dry wheat/ all purpose flour at intervals to avoid sticking. Deep fry the pooris and serve hot.

Serving Suggestions:
Serve Hot with any pickle, vegetable curry, gravy, Kadhi or raita.
