Methi-Ajwain-Kalonji Poori(Diwali Recipe)

Poori is a typical morning snack in India.It can be made with whole wheat(atta),all purpose flour(maida) or a mix of both along with sooji(coarse wheat flour).There are different varieties of pooris and I have tried to used dried methi leaves(fenugreek leaves) or kasuri methi and a little ajwain(carom seeds) and kalonji(onion seeds).Pooris taste great with halwa,potato curry or chick peas curry.

For the Puris
-Divide the dough into small balls.
-Take a rolling pin and and a cup of whole wheat flour and take a small ball of the dough and make small rounds.Dust a little wheat flour if the small round becomes sticky.
-Roll out the small balls to make round and small pooris.
