[iluvindia01]

[bhoot70]

[mussarat786]

[safwansh]

[ahmadanees87]

are you sure that these pani poori can be made without BAKING SODA...............

[phantom471]

Wow! I would say you are so analytical when you said about measures, also you made very easily. I liked your demonstration. You are so cool ..... Raj

[Aliza142]

great but r u sure that we dnt use oil 4 a dough? n wht wz da first ingridient wz it sooji?

[oldernwiser0]

@Aliza142 i found that when oil is added it makes the pooris soft, not crisp .. and yes, the first ingredient was sooji (also known here as bombay rava, upma rava etc ) cheers ! :-)

[lokloke7777]

respected sir

i have followed many of ur recipes, it was a big sucess and all praises from my husband thank u so much for all recipes i have a query i followed the same recipe the pooris puffed up beautifully by after sometimg it turned out to be soggy and not crispy can u please tell me where i went wrong, i made the dough stand 20 minutes

[msjasminek]

Nice Video. Thanks for sharing.

what is raba? the first ingredient you introduced in the video. How do you spell it and what do you call it in english?

[oldernwiser0]

@msjasminek its called semolina in english, and it is wheat ground into a granular powder ...:-)

[Aliza142]

@oldernwiser0 r u surewe dnt use oil 4 a dough?

[einsteinwallah2]

@msjasminek in Indian languages it is called Rava or Sooji. Some writers write that it is wheat germ. But it may be just the wheat ground into granular powder as oldernwiser0 says. And wikipedia search on Suji also redirects to their article on Semolina where it agrees with oldernwiser0.

[burntscar]

Fantastic! thank you so much, can just imagine how you managed with one hand!! and the vcr in the other!

[MilanGeng]

[dadunasrin]

Sir, i would really thanks u for all this vidios. as we are living far from India, we really miss all these delicasies. thnks to make it easier . My kids love it.but most of my puries are not puffed. what to do?

[pondsgurl]

Thanks so much for the video..specially for giving measurements in spoonfuls :) u r awesome !!

[oldernwiser0]

am glad you liked it and trust you found it useful too ! cheers ! :-)

[oldernwiser0]

am glad you found it useful ! thanks for your comment ! cheers ! :-)

[784km]

Can you tell me all the meaurement  in spoons.

[imallearsru]

I could never get enough of those in India...thanks for the recipe, now to make some.

[HiteshMita]

you don't get in India ? Every nook and corner you can get it in India.

[Khurramplaya]

You told the easyiest way

[oldernwiser0]

am glad you liked the method ! thank you ! :-)

[Sandeep9200]

so if i use 1 cup of soogie then i need 1/4 cup of meida and 1/4 cup of flour and 1tp of salt right??,i just want it to be just like the puri you would buy in india,i appriciate the help but could you please tell me if this method will work??

[oldernwiser0]

for one cup of sooji, you take 1/6 cup maida, 1/6 cup flour and salt ( could be 1/2 teaspoon depending upon taste ) .. better still would be to use a table spoon as a measure .. so you take 6 table spoons of sooji, 1 table spoon of maida, and 1 table spoon of flour and 1/2 teaspoon of salt and make a stiff dough.. usually not more than 3 tablespoons of water ...i'm sure this will work ... all the best ! :-)

[hemavathy88]

my poori becum soft :-( wat to do ?

[oldernwiser0]

maybe you left it too long after making the dough; if so, try again, preferably by making the pooris as soon as you make the dough.. i had this problem when i kept the dough for standing for more than an hour after mixing .... all the best ! :-)

[vikasmehr]

add little bit of baking podwer n bake for sometime

[Sandeep9200]

what do you mean by one measure of meida,could you please tell me the specific measures of the soogie,meida,and weat flour??

[oldernwiser0]

um... in my case a measure is a laddle full, when i make for one person. it could be a 125 ml tea cup if i am making for more number of persons ..and i know many people have their own favourite measuring vessel or cup which they find suitable in their own environment... the important thing is the proportion of each ingredient in the recipe and one could use from a teaspoon to a liter jar as a "measure " so long as the proportions are maintained.. hope this clarifies :-)

[indiadreaming2008]

You are an amazing person.  Into everything!! I really appreciate your posts, awesome!

[PVClx]

I tried making puris using your method but mine came out to be very soft and soggy though they were rising well! Please help!

[oldernwiser0]

um ...could be either the dough was left too long before making the pooris, or a little too much maida, or the oil was not hot enough or not cooked till crisp, also you have to leave the poori to cool for a couple of hours in an open vessel before it stays crisp ..i'm sure you'll get it right the next time around ..

[tamirisadp]

Thanks alot for this. I was searching for quite some time for this. And finally i got it.

[athelia4444]

For who is wondering:

SOJI = semolina

MAIDA = something resembling cake flower - you can also use all-purpose flour

[cygnus1899]

nice.. looks easier than i thought..

[ptitpapillon]

hmm okay thanks =) next time ill try it =)

but still some of my first ones left so gonna take a while till i try again but ill let u no =)

[ptitpapillon]

thts an amazing recipe =) it actually worked....but mine didnt puff up tht well..what do i have to change?

the problem is i dont have maida what cn i use as a substitute? im living in germany so ^^

plz help me i just love pani puris lol

[oldernwiser0]

one reason why the poori may not have puffed up is maybe the oil was not hot enough? it has to be really very hot to make it puff up .. maida is only for the purpose of binding the rava, so you can use a bit of wheat flour or even try ( i know it would be a bit difficult ) by using only rava and kneading it sufficiently to develop its binding .. do let me know the results and best of luck ! cheers ! :)

[masrascoffee]

Very nice video presentation.. makes it look so easy.. i bought the poori from the indian store yesterday, but it was not very good.. will try your recipe next weekend..

[oldernwiser0]

thanks for your encouraging comments ! i'm sure it'll work out well for you .. be sure to read all the other replies i have given on this recipe.. it will contain tips on how to avoid common mistakes ! all the best and cheers ! :-)

[MicheleMidnight]

wow...you even make it look easy for me and i can barely boil water!

[oldernwiser0]

lol ! that is a very nice way of commenting ! thanks and of course I dont believe that you "can barely boil water " and btw i hope you could just get rid of that thyroid problem and shoulder problem by strongly wishing it away ! i know it works ! cheers ! :-)

[MicheleMidnight]

ahh...oldernwiser is also observant! mental control does help with the body but i need to get them all back in a line now. working on it by the 'mind' and the doctors now. there may be hope. and ok..i can boil water and reheat frozen foods and make a great 'fake' mini pizza but seriously...watching you do that seemed so easy that i might try it when my arm works again!

[farabee111]

fantastic and easy....thanx

[oldernwiser0]

thanks and you're welcome !:-)

[SlaveOfthemostjust]

[kannammulu]

[oldernwiser0]

im glad for you ! and thanks for letting me know ..i really appreciate that ! :)

[willson2000]

Hello, thanks for posting this recipe... I had tried making them after following different procedures available on net but all went in vain. I am glad, I saw your recipe. I tried it yesterday and they came out very good. Your tips also helped.

Thanks once again and Keep it up.

[oldernwiser0]

am glad it worked out well for you and thanks for your encouraging comments.. my pleasure !

[shaabi4321]

yes i knead a dough kept for 3 hours may be this is my mistake i got it .i'll try again thank u.

[oldernwiser0]

you're welcome ! :)

[shaabi4321]

thank u for this recipee.i made it as shown in video but my puri becomes soft and thick.can u please explain where i made mistake.

[oldernwiser0]

this could happen if you made the dough very soft, or left the dough for a long time after making it or if the humidity in your area is very high ( rainy days ), or if you did not leave it long enough in open air after making it...i hope you did not add any oil to the flour while making the dough also the size of the poori should not be more than about 2 inches in diameter.. use a rolling pin to roll out the pooris .. ensure that the oil is really hot....i'm sure you'll get it .. all the best !

[alaivani]

Thank you!

[oldernwiser0]

[crazysim2008]

[tell58]

I have tried the recipe for this from cookbooks and have failed.I made it using your recipe and it was PERFECT.I could enjoy eating chaat here just bz of this video.Thank you so much!

[oldernwiser0]

if it is easily available, and you need small quantities, it is still better to buy out, but just to try out the challenge ( which is why i did it ) or if it is not easily available then i suggest you make it ..:-)

[dexplorertwodo]

i always brought readymade puris. this video inspires me to make my own puris. thanx uncle
