1. Bedmi poori
A popular North Indian favourite, Bedmi poori is made by combining wheat flour with ground urad dal and spices like fennel, coriander, and hing. The dough is rolled and deep-fried until crisp and golden. It pairs beautifully with aloo sabzi or tangy chutney.
2. Methi bajra poori
This nutritious poori blends the earthy flavour of bajra or pearl millet with the aroma of fresh methi (fenugreek) leaves. It’s both healthy and filling, perfect for winter mornings. Serve it hot with curd or spicy pickle.
3. Beetroot chana dal poori
Bright pink and full of nutrition, this poori blends boiled beetroot puree with soaked chana dal and wheat flour. The result is a vibrant, slightly sweet, and protein-rich poori that kids love.
4. Crispy masala poori
Spiced with red chilli, turmeric, and ajwain, masala poori is a flavour-packed treat. The dough is kneaded with a touch of oil and rolled slightly thick to make it extra crisp. It stays crunchy for hours, making it great for travel too.
5. Matar poori
A winter delight, matar poori is stuffed with a spicy green pea filling. The mashed peas are seasoned with ginger, green chilli, and garam masala, giving the poori a soft, flavourful centre and crisp edges.
From the spicy warmth of Bedmi poori to the vibrant charm of beetroot poori, these recipes prove that breakfast can be simple yet indulgent. Serve them hot, enjoy with your favourite accompaniments, and start your day on a delicious note.
