Mostly I serve piping hot, fluffy Poori as brunch on weekend; but it may be served in breakfast as well as in meal.

You can serve this recipe with Chana masala, Bhaji (Sabji), Halwa, kheer…

It can be served as a variation on ceremonial function, special function or as a prasadam at the prayer time.

Ingredients:

Aatta (wheat flour): 250 gm
Pumpkin: 150-200 gm.
Kalongi (Nigella seed): ½ teaspoon
Salt: 1 teaspoon
Chilli powder: ½ teaspoon (as per taste)
Ghee (clarified butter): 1 tablespoon
Cooking oil: for deep frying

Preparation:

Peel off skin of pumpkin, chop and boil (Microwave) as photo.
Take a wide vessel; pour Aatta, ghee, chilli powder, Kalongi and salt, mix well, add boiled pumpkin and knead them to make soft dough. (The dough can be made in food processor also). Cover and keep aside, to be used after 10-20 minutes.

Method:

Divide dough into 12-15 parts and make balls, roll the ball in 3-4 inch diameter circle.
Heat oil in a fry pan on maximum flame (to check if oil is ready or not, put a little piece of dough in the oil it should come up slowly, if it does not comes up, means oil is not hot enough, wait for a while and check it again.
Deep fry the Poori on high flame. After they start to puff slowly turn over. Fry till it becomes golden brown.
Now, mouth watering pumpkin Poori is ready to eat with sabji and lauki (bottle gourd) raita.
