Rajgira Ki Poori is a type of Indian fried bread made from Rajgira flour (Amaranth flour), which is typically used as a fasting food in Hinduism. The dough is made by mixing Rajgira flour, salt, and water and then rolled into small balls and fried.
Here is a simple recipe for Rajgira Ki Poori:
Ingredients:
- 1 cup Rajgira flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- Water, as needed
- Oil for deep-frying
Instructions:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the Rajgira flour and salt.
- Slowly add water to the flour mixture and knead it into a soft and smooth dough.
- Let the dough rest for 15-20 minutes.
- Divide the dough into small balls.
- Roll each ball into small poori using a rolling pin.
- Heat the oil in a deep pan or kadhai over medium heat.
- Carefully place the poori in the hot oil and press it down with a slotted spoon.
- Fry the poori until it is golden brown and puffed up, turning it over occasionally.
- Remove the poori from the oil and place it on a plate lined with paper towel to remove excess oil.
- Serve hot or warm with a side of pickle or chutney.
Note: You can also add a pinch of carom seeds (ajwain) for added flavor and you can also add some more ghee to the dough to make it more rich.
