Total Time 40 minutes
Servings 4
Ingredients
- Whole wheat flour – 1 cup
- Urad dal/white lentil - 1/4 cup
- Sooji/semolina - 2 tsp
- Jeera/cumin seeds - 1 tsp
- Saunf/fennel seeds - 1 tsp
- Ginger - 1 tbsp chopped
- Red chilli powder - 1 tsp
- Salt to taste
- Vegetable Oil for deep frying
Instructions
-
Clean and Soak urad dal in water for 2-3 hours.
-
Drain the water and add it in a blender along with cumin seeds, fennel seeds and ginger.
-
Blitz it to make a paste using minimum water.
-
Transfer in a mixing bowl.
-
Add flour, red chilli powder, semolina and salt in the same bowl.
-
Knead to make a stiff dough. Add water only if needed.
-
Add 1 tbsp oil and knead again. Set it aside for 20 minutes.
-
Make a small ball of the dough and roll using a rolling pin. You can use little oil or dry flour to roll the dough smoothly.
-
Heat oil in a frying pan.
-
To check if the oil is warm, drop a small piece of dough into the oil. If it comes on top immediately, the oil is warm for frying.
-
Keep the flame on high flame and slide the flattened dough into the oil carefully. You have to keep regulating the flame to make sure oil doesn’t get too hot.
-
Press down lightly on the pooris as it fries to help it puff up.
-
Once pooris turn golden brown, put them on a strainer or a paper tissue to drain excess oil.

I’ve never had this but it definitely looks good and something that I would love to try.
Thank you Dana ????
This sounds so flavorful! I don’t do enough Indian cooking and I don’t think I’ve ever seen dal in my market. Wondering if I can get it at a specialty store.
You can get white lentil even online ☺️
I have never heard of these before, but they sound like they have so much flavour in them.
Thank you ☺️
OMG! That sounds absolutely delicious, Priya. I love, LOVE Poori, but the flavors added to the dough make it extra special. Bookmarking for the next time I strike a Poori fancy! Thank you for this recipe!
