1. To prepare the dough for soft, puffy pooris, in a deep bowl, take gehun ka atta. Many people even add sooji to make the puri crispier.
   
2. Add the oil. Oil can be swapped with melted ghee. This fat basically helps in making soft pooris.
   
3. Add salt.
   
4. Gradually add water and combine all the ingredients. We have used about 5 tbsp of water. Many people even make use of milk to knead the poori dough. Knead into a stiff dough.
   
5. Cover with a lid or damp cloth and keep aside for 10 to 15 minutes.
   

1. To roll the puri for frying, after 15 minutes, divide the dough into 12 equal portions.
   
2. Shape the portion into round and flatten it between your palms.
   
3. Roll out a portion into a 75 mm. (3") diameter round. If the dough is sticking a lot, apply a little oil to the rolling board which will help you roll the poori easily. The poori should neither be too thick or too thin.
   
4. Similarly, roll out all the portions and spread out on a plate. Do cover them with a damp cloth while you are heating/frying all the poori to prevent them from drying.

1. To deep-fry poori, heat the oil in a deep kadhai and carefully put 2-3 puris to fry at a time. The oil should neither be too hot or too cold. To check if the oil is at the right temperature or no, drop a small portion of dough in the oil. If it comes up quickly, the oil is too hot and this would brown the poori quickly. If it takes a lot of time, the oil is not hot enough and this would make the puri absorb a lot of oil.
   
2. The trick to get a perfectly fluffy poori is to add a puri in hot oil and gently press it with the slotted spoon. Fry the poori till they turn golden brown in colour from both sides.
   
3. Drain the poori on an absorbent paper.
