RECIPE INGREDIENTS

» For Air Fryer Poori Air Fryer Puri

• 1 cup whole wheat flour
• Salt to taste
• 3 tablespoons plain yogurt
• Warm water as needed (for dough)
• Some dry flour or a few drops of oil for rolling
• Extra water for boiling puris

RECIPE INSTRUCTIONS

» Prepare the Dough

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour and salt. Add the plain yogurt and start mixing. Gradually add warm water as needed to form a soft but firm dough. Knead the dough for about 3-4 minutes. The dough should not be sticky.
2. Cover the dough with a damp kitchen towel or cloth and let it rest for at least 30 minutes.

» Roll the Pooris:

1. After resting, knead the dough briefly again and then shape it into a log. Divide it into small pieces, and roll them into equal-sized balls. The size of each ball will determine the size of your puris, so aim for about 1 inch in diameter.
2. Add a drop of oil to the work surface or coat the dough ball in dry flour.
3. Now, using a rolling pin, roll each ball into a circle. Each circle should be approximately 3-4 inches in diameter and evenly flat. Make sure that you do not roll them too thin, or else the puris will become crispy.

» Boil the Poori

1. Before air-frying, boil water in a large pot.
2. Once the water is boiling, gently drop a few puris into the water. Let them boil for about 2 minutes or until they puff up slightly and come to the surface. This step helps ensure they puff up in the air fryer and also gives the puris a shiny glaze similar to deep-fried puris.
3. Remove the boiled puris with a slotted spoon.
4. Place them on a clean kitchen towel to absorb any excess water. Pat the puris dry and then boil the rest of the puris.

» Air-Fry the Poori

1. Preheat the air fryer to 190°C (374°F). Place the boiled puris in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they are not overlapping. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to do this in batches.
2. Air-fry the puris for about 4 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. If they are not golden, you may air-fry for 1-2 more minutes or until they are cooked. The exact time may vary depending on your air fryer model, so keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
3. Once the puris are puffed, remove them from the air fryer basket and air fry the rest of the puris.

» Serving

1. Air Fryer Poori is ready.
2. Serve the air-fried pooris hot with your choice of curry, chutney, or any side dish.

RECIPE NOTES

1. The boiling step before air-frying is important for getting the puris to puff up, so do not skip it.
2. If the puris are not puffing up, they might be rolled too thick or too thin. Make sure that you do not roll them too thick or too thin.
3. For an oily glaze, you can lightly brush or spray the pooris with oil before air-frying.
