pooris
Puffed Indian bread
Pooris are round, deep-fried Indian breads that puff up into hollow golden spheres when cooked.
Made from unleavened wheat dough, they're lighter and richer than chapatis or rotis.
Pooris are often served with curries, potato dishes, or as part of festive meals: We ordered pooris with chole for breakfast.
