poori masala or most familiarly called as poori masal is one of the attractive, most liked tiffin item at any place. simple but tasty and crispy deep fried pooris and potato masala makes a very strong bond together. 

those puffy and crispy pooris have little secrets behind and here it is for you. while I was a kid, i use to stare at the big puffy pooris which will be arranged in road side small hotels which will stay puffed all day long.

whenever i asked mom how is it possible, she says they add something unwanted or they make it thick. but poori is meant to be crisp not thick and rubbery. so i just dropped that idea of digging deeper into how it was possible. 

this idea of adding rava was to bring crispiness. and it absolutely stays puffy until you serve it to the plate but not longer than that. 🙂 that smell of poori masala at home drives everyone hungry and crazy. agree?
