Sweet poori / Sweet puri  is a very crispy & layered pooris with sugar powder dusted on it. These Sweet puri can be great for your children and all at home. They are pretty simple to make with very few ingredients that are always available at home – maida, sugar and ghee. Can be stored for more than a week in an airtight container.  

                                 

Sweet Poori has a very sweet imaginary story behind it, I always tell to my family, “one day when grandmother was preparing Puris but grandchildren wanted to eat some sweets, grandmother who had rolled up all Puris got an idea and she piled one on other, separated layers with ghee and then dry flour which was kept just next, then again she rolled and divided to small pedas and flattened these to form poori shape, but this time with lots of layers. And fried to crispy brown, this was only crispy not sweet, so she dusted some sugar powder on top of this hot pooris and gave to children, they all were so surprised and enjoyed new sweet dish”.

 

Ingredients

      1.  Maida or all purpose flour – 1 cup

      2.  Ghee – 2 teaspoons

      3.  Sugar 1/2 cup and 2 cardamom – powdered together 

      Method

1.  Take maida, ghee and pinch of salt knead into stiff dough adding very little water
2.  Rest (keep aside) the dough for about 20 – 30 mins   
3.  Divide the dough to small portions and roll them to poori shapes, thinner than usual poori
4.  Now place a poori, apply ghee on it and then dust dry flour. Place another poori   on  this one and again apply ghee and dust dry flour over it. Place another poori on this and repeat the process for all pooris
5.  Once all pooris are layered roll them into a big log and cut into small portions 
6.  Take a portion and press gently, and roll to small poori. Layers should be visible 
7.  Heat oil in pan and deep fry the pooris, until light brown on both sides 
8.  Dust the powdered sugar and cardamom on the pooris while hot
