These are best made fresh and served hot. The batter can be made in advance and refrigerated. However, if they are made ahead of time, then reheat in a stack of four, properly wrapped, in the microwave oven (1 to 2 minutes) or the conventional oven (10 minutes at 375 degrees F). Healthy Alternative: Make on a heavy skillet, using oil spray or very little oil. Use them as wraps and fill with sauteed vegetables or beans.

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 cups gram flour, sifted (besan)
1/2 cup buttermilk
oil, to pan-fry
1 finely chopped onion
1 teaspoon chopped green chili pepper
1/2 teaspoon grated ginger
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Grease with 1 teaspoon of oil the first time only.
  • Pour 2 tablespoons of batter and spread evenly and thinly with the back of a serving spoon into a round shape.
  • Add ½ teaspoon of oil around the edges.
  • Cook for 1 to 2 minutes until the top appears dry and the bottom has just begun to brown.
  • Turn over with a flat spatula; brown the other side very lightly, adding ½ teaspoon of oil around the edges.

I'll definitely try this recipe again, but I'll be more careful with the amount of water I add.

I think I might have added too much water to the dough.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my pooris turned out flat and dense.

I found the dough to be a bit too sticky. I had to add more flour to get it to the right consistency.

The pooris were a bit too oily for my taste.
