½cupmango puree, ripe mangoes blended into a smooth pulp
1tablespoonsugar, adjust to taste (optional)
Few strands of saffron (optional)
A pinch of salt
Ghee or oil for frying; For vegan, use oil
Water, as needed
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine the wheat flour, sugar (optional), saffron (optional) and a pinch of salt.
Add the mango puree to the dry ingredients and mix well to form a stiff but pliable dough.
If required, gradually add water, a little at a time, and knead the mixture into a smooth and firm dough. Be cautious with the amount of water you add; you want the dough to be stiff but pliable.
Once the dough is ready, cover it with a damp cloth and let it rest for about 15-20 minutes.
Heat ghee or oil in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat.Note: For vegan, use vegetable oil.
While the oil is heating, divide the dough into small lemon-sized balls and roll them into smooth rounds.Note: You can make about 7-8 puris.
Roll out each ball into a small disc, about 3-4 inches in diameter. You can use few drops of oil to prevent sticking.
Carefully slide each rolled-out disc into the hot oil. It should puff up within a few seconds. Use a slotted spoon to gently press it down in the oil, allowing it to puff evenly. Fry until both sides are golden brown.
Remove the mango poori from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to remove excess oil.
Serve the mango pooris hot with your choice of side dishes, such as spicy potato curry, chana masala, or any other curry of your preference.
