masala poori recipe | tikhat poori | tikhi puri | masaledar poori with step by step photo and video recipe. poori recipes or deep-fried bread are very common across india and are served for various meals. there are several ways to make this poori which mainly depends upon the flour or combination of flours. but then there is another variety known as masala poori recipe where spices are added directly to the dough.

as i previously mentioned, this recipe of masala poori is very unique and unconventional. many would argue that adding spices directly to the dough may spoil the taste and also puffiness to the poori while deep fried. while partially i would agree to the later point and it may slightly impact the puffiness. but i completely deny to the fact that the spicy poori is of less taste compared to the traditional ones. as a matter of fact, you can serve as it is without any additional condiments or curries to this bread. i personally like it with a bowl of yoghurt or curd. but it also tastes great when served with vegetable kurma or any gravy based paneer curries too.

furthermore, i would like to highlight some of my tips, suggestions and variations to masala poori recipe. firstly, the dough has to be kneaded very similarly to the traditional poori’s. there isn’t any difference as such to the way the flour is mixed and kneaded and it should be a tight dough. secondly, adding the chilli powder and controlling the spice level is completely open-ended and can be varied as per the taste preference. but keep in mind that when the same poori is served with curries, the spice level adds up. lastly, deep fry these poori in a small batch in a medium flame. but i would recommend having the flame high while dropping the disc to oil.
