Singhare Aate Ki Poori Recipe Tips: How to Make Perfect Pooris During Navratri

Singhare Aate Ki Poori is a popular dish during the Navratri fast. However, making perfect pooris using singhara flour can be a bit challenging due to the flour's unique properties. Here are some tips that will help you make perfect singhara aate ki pooris:

Use Mashed Potatoes for Binding

One of the main ingredients of singhara aate ki poori is mashed potatoes. It gives the flour the necessary binding, making it easier to roll the dough and fry the poori.

Use Less Water

Excess water can make the dough sticky, and you may face difficulty while rolling the poori. Therefore, it's essential to use less water while kneading the dough.

Knead the Dough Well

Kneading the dough well is crucial to make perfect singhara aate ki poori. Make sure you knead the dough thoroughly to ensure that the flour and the potatoes are well-mixed.

Mix Flour Well with Potatoes

To ensure that less water is used in the flour, try kneading the flour well by mixing it with mashed potatoes. This will give the poori a crisp texture and enhance its taste.

Knead Singhara Flour Hard

Singhara flour needs to be kneaded hard to get the right consistency for the poori. Therefore, knead the flour thoroughly to ensure that the dough is of the right texture.

Rest the Dough

After kneading the dough, rest it for 10 minutes. This is important to make sure that the pooris are crack-free.

Roll Pooris Lightly

Rolling the pooris with light hands is essential to ensure that they puff up when fried. Use a rolling pin to roll out the dough and fry them until they are crispy and light brown.
