➤Potato Masala Ingredients:

➤4 medium-sized potatoes (boiled, peeled, and mashed)

➤2 tomatoes (chopped)

➤2 green chilies (chopped)

➤1/2 inch ginger (grated)

➤1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder

➤1 teaspoon red chili powder (adjust to taste)

➤1 teaspoon garam masala

➤Salt to taste

➤Fresh coriander leaves (for garnish)

➤2 tablespoons oil

Instructions:

For Pooris:

1. In a large bowl, mix the whole wheat flour and salt.

2. Gradually add water and knead the flour to form a smooth, pliable dough. Let it rest for about 15-20      minutes.

3. Divide the dough into small lemon-sized balls. Roll each ball into a small disc (poori) using a rolling      pin.

4. Heat oil in a deep pan for frying. When the oil is hot, gently slide the rolled poori into the oil. Press         it  with a spatula to help it puff up.

5. Fry until both sides are golden brown. Remove the pooris and place them on a paper towel to absorb      excess oil.

For Potato Masala:

1. Heat oil in a pan. Add mustard seeds, cumin seeds, and asafoetida. Let them splutter.

2. Add chopped onions, green chilies, and grated ginger. Saute until onions become translucent.

3. Add chopped tomatoes and cook until they become soft and the oil starts to separate.

4. Add turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt. Mix well.

5. Add the mashed potatoes and stir to combine with the spices.

6. Pour in a little water to achieve the desired consistency. Simmer for a few minutes.

7. Sprinkle garam masala and garnish with fresh coriander leaves.

Serve the hot and puffed pooris with the delicious potato masala. This combination makes for a tasty and satisfying meal, perfect for breakfast or brunch. Enjoy!
