Let’s talk about the ingredients for Kesar Poori

Kesar/Saffron: Make sure to use good quality kesar. To maximize its flavour and color I roasted it for 10 seconds. This simple technique makes a lot of difference. To add more colour to pooris I made a saffron food colour using spices, turmeric, and Kashmiri red chili powder. Apart from that little sugar also gives a nice gloss to pooris.
Other Ingredients: Of course, whole wheat flour has been used. I added little ghee while kneading the dough. It makes poori perfectly flaky, giving it a great texture.

How To Make Kesar Poori

1. Roast saffron and dissolve in milk : Heat a pan. Add few saffron strands in it. Roast on low flame for 10 seconds or till aromatic. Transfer to a mortal pastel. Powder it. Add 1 tbsp warm milk. Dissolve saffron into it.

2. Mix all ingredients and knead a dough : In a mixing bowl add 2 cups whole wheat flour. Add 2 tbsp ghee, salt to taste, saffron dissolved in milk, 1 tsp sugar, a big pinch of turmeric powder and Kashmiri red chili powder each. Mix well. Add water gradually and knead a semi-stiff dough. Grease with ghee and cover and let it rest for 15 minutes.

3. Knead the dough again and roll poori : After 15 minutes, knead again for a couple of minutes and make a smooth dough. Take a portion and shape it. Roll into a poori, slightly thicker than a chapati.

4. Fry poori : Heat enough oil. When moderately hot, add poori. When it floats, press lightly with a perforated spoon. Poori will puff up. Flip and fry. Fry till golden brown from both the sides. Poori should be fried in a moderately hot oil. Keep a check on the temperature of the oil.

Hi! I am CA Vini Mehta. A Chartered Accountant by profession, a food blogger by passion! First of all, I would like to thank you for stopping by at Viniscookbook, I hope you have a good time. Here, yo...u will find the recipes which have been tried, at times re-tried in my kitchen and relished on the dining table. I am mother of two kids and the wife of a person with a high and selective taste sense, so basically anything, before finding its place on the blog, has many levels to cross and clear. This journey started a couple of years back. Before that I was making the most usual kind of food. The only experiment used to be asking my mother how to make something new or different☺. Then, one day, I tried a recipe for butter cookies. And they did not get to go in the container as they were over before I could store them. That day I was introduced to the joy of experimenting with recipes. And I loved everything else that followed especially garnishing and photographing food. I am still not well versed with the photography dos and don’ts but I love to experiment and learn, be it photography or cooking. Hope you too enjoy this journey as much as I do☺! Stay healthy, stay tuned!.
