Ø 1/2 cup all purpose flour
Ø 3/4 cup water
Ø 1 cup wheat flour
Ø 1/4 tsp. salt
Ø 1 1/2 Tbsp. butter (melted)
Ø 1 cup vegetable oil
Combine all purpose flour, wheat flour and salt in a mixing bowl. Heat butter until it is very hot and smells. Pour it in the mixing bowl over the flour carefully and mix slowly. Then add water gradually and knead to a light, but smooth dough. Knead on a lightly surface for several minutes, until smooth and elastic. Pinch about 1 tablespoon dough and form a small ball. You can make about 25 balls. With a rolling pin, flatten the balls as much as it can go into thin round pastries. Fry in hot oil until puffed and become golden. Takes only a few seconds for each to be deepfried. Good to eat when it is hot. Serve it with potatoes. Poori looks and tastes more or less like the flour tortillas (sold in all grocery stores to make tacos) being deep fried in oil.
