Poori

Poori / Puri is fried flat bread that is popular with all ages!! Most of the Thali meals in restaurants South India have to have Pooris in them! Even though easy to prepare at home, because it is deep fried, I prepare occasionally. On these occasions though, everyone at home usually hit double digits J Poori goes well with most of the Palyas/Side dishes and also with Amras, Shrikhand etc. So enjoy Pooris with spicy or sweet accompaniment.
