Best eaten within 10 minutes of frying for maximum crispness and puff. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📲 JOIN THE COMMUNITY ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📢 WhatsApp Channel: https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VaAaK9SJZg48hlXV4I3l 📸 Instagram: @deepakskitchen 📘 Facebook: @deepakskitchen 🐦 Twitter/X: @deepakskitchen ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🎵 MUSIC ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Background music: the background music is created by Suno AI ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ If Amma's masterclass helped you make perfect pooris, please share this video with one person who struggles with pooris.

As the poori puffs up, it puffs up to an extent creating a vent on the top layer for the steam to escape. So when the poori is flipped, the oil penetrates into it. How can this be avoided?

Hello thank you. Your video is just great with so many explanations for beginners. Please what is the difference between the whole wheat flour and the all purpose flour. Is the whole wheat the flour used for brown toast and the all purpose the white flour. Also please where do you get Chiroti Rava.If I get normal semolina can I grind it to make it fine.
