Pooris made with boiled potatoes and simple spices. They are good as it is or are served with a sweet and tangy pumpkin vegetable (khata meetha kaddu). A very god option for children’s tiffin box, my family normally eats this combo as a brunch. This recipe is absolutely easy and yummy. Do try it out.

Steps

40-50 minutes

1

Wash and peel the pumpkin and remove the seeds and soft pulp in the middle. Cut into small chunks.
Heat oil in a kadhai add methi dana and hing. After methi turns golden add haldi, dhaniya powder, jeera powder, chopped ginger, green chillies, and sauté for 30 seconds. Now add pumpkin, salt and red chilli powder.
2

Stir continuously for 1-2 minutes to coat the pumpkin with all the spices. Cover and cook on medium flame for 10-12 minutes. Stir occasionally in between. If the vegetable is still firm and not cooked add around ¼ cup of water and mix well. Cover and cook for another 4-5 minutes.
Now uncover and mash the vegetable a little. Add amchoor, sugar and chopped green coriander. Mix well and cook for a minute. Khata meetha petha is ready. It tastes great with pooris, parathas and rotis.
3

For the Pooris, In a big shallow dish/ parat add the atta/ wheat flour. Add the boiled potatoes, coriander leaves and all other spices. Combine well. Now using little water at a time make a tight dough. Cover the dough and leave it to rest for 30 minutes.
4

Heat oil in a deep kadhai for deep frying.
Pinch out small portions of the dough, flatten and roll out using a little oil.
Deep fry each poori in hot oil, making them golden brown on both sides one by one. Serve hot with khata metha kaddu/petha. Do add some salad and pickle on the side.
