Notes
Poori-Puri can be eaten with sweet as well as savory dishes.
Don’t use wheat flour while rolling the dough, it leaves the black traces while frying and discolors the Poori.
Don't over fry the Poori for long time and make sure oil isn’t too hot otherwise the skin would become dark and will not be cooked inside.
