Ingredients:
2 cups wheat flour
1 cup fresh fenugreek leaves
(methi), washed & finely chopped
1 tsp red chili powder
1/2 tsp turmeric powder
1/2 tsp cumin powder
Salt to taste
Water, as required
Oil for deep frying
Method:
In a large mixing bowl, combine wheat flour, fenugreek leaves, red chili powder, turmeric powder, cumin powder, and salt.
Mix well and add water gradually to make a firm dough. Knead the dough well for a few minutes until it becomes smooth and pliable.
Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 15-20 minutes.
Heat oil in a deep frying pan on medium flame.
Divide the dough into small balls and roll them out into circles of about 3-4 inches diameter.
Once the oil is hot, carefully drop the rolled out pooris one at a time and fry until they puff up and turn golden brown on both sides.
Remove the fried methi puris from the oil using a slotted spoon and drain the excess oil on a paper towel.
Serve Methi pooris hot with chutney or sabzi of your choice.
