Rajgiri ki poori- Amaranthย  flour bread with cumin spiced potatoes-food for fasting

Rajgiri ki poori- Most of the flours flours used during Fasting and Navratri are gluten free .-Rajgiri/Amaranth flour,Kuttu ka ataa/Buckwheat flour, Sabudana /sago, Samu/ Barnyarn Millet, Singhora /water chestnut flour are few among the favorite fasting foods.today I am posting the very popular fasting food-Rajgiri ki poori

Rajgiri flour is gluten free so we need to add some kind of starch for binding the flour. I have added boiled mashed potatoes but you can also add boiled arbi/taro root or boiled raw banana for binding.
All the tuber vegetables are used during fasting days i.e Potato,Sweet potato/shakar kand,Taro root/Arbi ,Yam/suran ,Pumpkin /kaddu are the widely used vegetables.

      I love how puffed up the poori's are!
      I have never tasted vrat ki poori, I am bookmarking this

      Maharashtrians also make Potato subzi, just slightly different.
      We incorporate peanut powder in the potatoes. A simple ghee- jeera- green chilies tadka (no asafetida), boiled potato, salt, sugar and peanut pwd! done ๐Ÿ™‚

      I hope I will be able to make your version sometime very soon, it will make a good lunch box option.
