Palak Poori (Puri) / Spinach Poori

Palak poori  is healthy variation to our kid's favorite breakfast item and also a tricky way to make them eat spinach!

Ingredients:

Wheat flour -  2  cups + extra for dusting
Palak/Spinach - 1 cup( tightly packed

Green chili - 3 to 4
Salt - to taste
Oil - for deep frying

Directions:

Remove stems and wash spinach thoroughly.


Blanch spinach and green chilies in boiling water.

Take it out and allow to cool.  Grind spinach and green chilli into a fine paste and keep aside.

Take a wide bowl; add wheat flour and salt. Mix well.

Next add palak puree little by little and knead well to form a tight dough.

( add water if necessary)

Divide the dough into lemon sized balls and flattened them using rolling pin;  make into round shape as we do for normal pooris.

Repeat with the remaing dough.

Heat the oil in a  kadai and fry each  pooris on both sides till golden and crisp.
