Ingredients
For the Papar Masala
- 1 cup Papadums baked, crushed; you can use store-bought baked papadums
- 1 tsp Cumin Seeds
- 1 tsp Coriander Powder
- 1/2 tsp Chili Powder adjust to taste, red
- 1/4 tsp Turmeric Powder
- 1/4 tsp Garam Masala
- 1/2 tsp Salt or to taste
For the Poori Dough
- 2 cup All-Purpose Flour refined flour; also known as maida
- 1 cup Yogurt curd
- 2 tbsp Vegetable Oil plus extra for frying
- 1.5 tsp Salt or to taste
- 1/2 tsp Baking Powder
- 1 tsp Sugar granulated
Instructions
Prepare the Papar Masala
- Combine crushed baked papadums with cumin seeds, coriander powder, red chili powder, turmeric powder, garam masala, and salt. Mix well.
Make the Poori Dough
- In a large bowl, combine all-purpose flour, yogurt, vegetable oil, salt, baking powder, and sugar. Mix until a soft, pliable dough forms.
Rest the Dough
- Cover the dough and let it rest for at least 5-6 hours, or preferably overnight, in a warm place. This allows the gluten to relax, resulting in softer pooris.
Shape and Fill the Pooris
- Divide the dough into small, equal-sized balls. Roll each ball into a thin circle. Spread a spoonful of the papar masala evenly over half of the circle. Fold the other half over the filling, gently pressing the edges to seal.
Fry the Pooris
- Heat vegetable oil in a large pan or kadai over medium heat. Carefully place the filled pooris in the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry until golden brown and puffed up, flipping as needed.
Serve
- Remove the fried pooris from the oil and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with chole, sambar, or your preferred accompaniment.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Papar Poor is

- Don't overfill the pooris with the masala, as this can cause them to burst during frying.
- Adjust the amount of chili powder according to your spice preference.
- If the dough is too dry, add a little more yogurt; if it's too sticky, add a little more flour.
