1. In a mixing bowl combine all the dry ingredients.

2. Add in butter milk, mix and add water if needed to make dough. Dough shouldn’t be too soft or dry.

3. Pinch a small piece of dough and make balls.

4. Grease 2 plastic sheets and place the dough ball between them and press it with a tortilla press, neither too thick nor too thin. If you don’t have tortilla press, press with a plate then make a little hole in the middle of the poori with your finger.

5. Heat oil, put a small piece of dough to check if the oil is hot enough, dough should come up little slowly(not too fast). Oil should be medium hot.

6. Peel the pressed dough slowly and place it carefully in oil. Gently press and try to pour a little oil with ladle on the poori(it helps poori to puffup).

7. Flip and fry both sides.

8. Transfer the poori on to a paper napkin to absorb excess oil. These pooris will not absorb much oil.

9. Serve with Bombay chutney or dal or any vegetable curry.
