How To Make Palak Poori / Spinach Poori Recipe

Palak Poori is a healthy and colourful variation of normal plain white poories.These pooris are made with blanched spinach puree added in the dough ,which gives  a beautiful green colour to the fried poori.

Usually poori’s are made with either wheat flour or refined flour/maida .you can use any one of these or just mix both. To add flavour and taste I have added few mint leaves green chilies,ginger and cumin in the spinach puree and the Palak poori taste very good.

These Palak poori’s taste awesome as it is, but if paired with a cup of hot masala chai or aloo tamatar ki sabzi ,choley or any spicy tangy curry they taste out of the world !
