Ingredients
  

1 cup = 200ml

  • 2 cup Whole wheat flour
  • 2 tbsp Suji / semolina
  • 1 tsp Cumin seeds
  • 1 tsp Black pepper crushed
  • 1/4 tsp Carom seeds
  • a pinch of Asafoetida / Hing
  • 2 tbsp Desi ghee
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 3/4 cup Kasuri Methi
  • Water as per need
  • oil for frying

  • Take a bowl and add wheat flour and suji in it.
  • Now add cumin seeds, crushed black pepper, carom seeds, hing and salt. Give it is mix.
  • Now add Kasuri Methi and mix it with the flour mixture.
  • Add desi ghee and mix the mixture to make it like breadcrumbs like.
  • With the help of water, knead the stiff dough.
  • Take a ball out of dough and roll it like chapati with the help of rolling pin.
  • With the help of round cutter or some glass or katori, mark the cuts in the rolled chapati.
  • Take out the extra dough and prick the round puris with the fork so that they shouldn't puff up while frying.
  • Make more puris with the entire dough.
  • Transfer a batch of puris in hot oil.
  • Once you put the puris in hot oil, they will sink to the bottom. Don't disturb them. They will themselves start floating over the oil after couple of seconds.
  • Flip over the sides of puris and fry them till they turn light golden brown.
  • Take them out and place on a plate carrying paper nepkin so that it absorbs extra oil.
  • Your methi poori is ready. Once they turn completely cool, transfer them to air tight container.

Notes

  1. Use Maida instead of whole wheat, if you like.
  2. Adding suji (semolina) is optional but this is highly recommend because it brings a nice crisp to methi puri.
  3. Fresh methi can be used instead of kasuri methi.
  4. Instead of frying, you can bake them also.
