Tips for Palak Poori Recipe | Spinach Poori Recipe:
- In this palak poori ,we are blanching spinach and making a puree with green chili, ginger. The spinach puree is added to wheat flour. We can add the blanched spinach directly to the wheat flour and mix it without making a puree
- Cool the spinach puree completely before mixing with wheat flour
- The spinach puree itself is enough to make the dough. If you feel the the dough is very dry, we can sprinkle little water and knead it to soft but stiff dough
- The thickness of the rolled puri should not be too thick or too thin. Too thick poori will puff up but will become hard after frying. Too thin poori will not puff up in the oil
- Check the hotness of the oil before dropping the rolled poori. Oil should be very hot for the poori to puff up immediately.
- Flip it only once. Do not flip again and again or else the poori will absorb more oil
- If we want crispy poori, we can add 2 tablespoon of sooji to the wheat flour
