Notes

1. You may added little crushed kasoori methi too .
2. Similarly you can make palak poori , beetroot poori , methi puri etc .
3. Don't make the dough gooey / loose . Else it will absorb oil .
4. Don't roll poori too thin or thick .It should be uniform.Don't allow the dough to sit for a long time
5. Similarly u can make tomato chapathi too if you want to cut oil .
