Spicy Coconut Pooris

I made this poori when my mom was here. She was really impressed and liked this a lot. I saw this recipe in Sanjeev Kapoor's show. The dough is made of semolina ... initially I was sceptical as I have never made dough out of rava, but the end result was delicious tasting poori.

Ingredients:

For the dough:

Rava(Semolina)- 1 cup

Salt- to taste

For the filling:

Fresh Grated Coconut- 1/2 cup

Grated Carrot- 2 tbsp

Green Chillies- 2 finely chopped

Coriander leaves- 2 tbsp finely chopped

Gram Flour( Besan)- 1/4 cup

Salt - to taste

Whole Wheat Flour - for dusting

Oil - 1 tbsp for the dough + extra for frying

Procedure:

• Make a soft but firm dough out of semolina by adding salt, 1 tbsp oil and required amount of water.
• Cover with damp cloth and rest for 2 hours.
• Make the filling by mixing coconut,carrot, besan, green chillies and coriander leaves. Add little salt to taste.
• Take a lemon sized portion of the dough and dust it with flour and roll into small poori, place a tablespoon of filling mixture in the centre and close it.
• Roll it back in small poori's using little flour for dusting.
• Deep fry in hot oil in medium heat till light golden in colour.

Serve with curd/ raita or any sabji of choice.
