Illustrated Recipe for Crispy Poori (Deep Fried Indian Flatbread)

Poori is a popular variation of Indian flatbread which has been deep fried until crispy. Poori is commonly served for langar with Chhole, a kind of chickpea curry made from large white garbanzo beans. Anyone who helps to prepare langar is required to cover the hair with a turban, or scarf, and encouraged to engage in meditation with the tongue and mind, while busy with the hands.

To prepare one dozen poori:

  • Mix one cup water with two cups atta flour.
  • Roll dough into rounds and deep fry.
