Masala Puri | spicy masala poori recipe
Masala puri is a variation to the regular puris – with the addition of spice powders. You can serve it plain with tea or coffee or can even have it with sabzi or chutney/pickle/curd. Puris are perfect for packing for tiffin/lunch box. The main advantage is that you can also carry them for your picnics or journey. We have already shared the recipe for – Pudina Puri/Mint leaves Puri
You can adjust the spices as per your taste. While kneading the dough, make sure you add water gradually. Dough for puri should be stiff. It should not be sticky. Let the dough rest for 15-20 minutes. After 15-20 minutes, knead the dough once again. If need be, then add few drops of oil while kneading.
