- Wash and soak Urad dal in enough water for 6-8 hours. Drain the water completely. Grind the dal with ginger and green chilies in a blender to make a coarse paste. Add little water if required. Add whole wheat flour in a bowl. Now add the dal paste, ¼ cup oil, salt, fennel powder, coriander powder, red chilli powder, dry mango powder and hing in the flour. Mix everything nicely. Add little water and knead a tight dough. Cover and keep the dough aside for 10-15 minutes. Make small balls from the dough. Roll the balls using little oil to a 3-4 inch circle. Heat oil in a pan. When the oil is hot, deep fry the pooris till slightly browned from both the sides. Drain them on a plate. Heat the oil once again until it is very hot. Double fry the poories until they are nicely browned and crisp. Remove the poories on a kitchen towel lined plate. Serve hot with potato curry.
