Methi Poori





Poori Sabzi is one of the Favourite North Indian Breakfast dishes..... Hot hot puffed up poori with allo sabzi is a great combo, To add to it if you want extra flour here is Methi poori...

Methi/ Fenugreek leaves gives a distinct taste to the poori & can even add bit of chili powder to make it a savoury Poori


Methi/ Fenugreek  is used as a herb (dried or fresh leaves), spice (seeds), and vegetable

Methi leaves are usually added to enhance the flavor of the food.

Puri is prepared with wheat flour, either atta (whole wheat flour), maida (refined wheat flour), or sooji (coarse wheat flour). Maida flour is the most common flour used in making Puris.  A dough of flour and salt is either rolled out in a small circle or rolled out and cut out in small circles and deep fried in ghee or vegetable oil. While deep frying, it puffs up like a round ball because moisture in the dough changes into steam which expands in all directions. When it is golden-brown in color, it is removed and served hot, I have added Fenugreek leaves gives a distinct taste to the poori
