I am not sure if there is any kid out there who does not love poori. The puffed up pooris paired with masal are a favorite here. I wanted to make Radish poori when I saw this recipe since I have chosen Cooking with Alphabets – ‘R’.
Lil angel loves Ragi Poori and Radish. I paired these two in this recipe. The flavor of radish cannot be noticed in the pooris.So this is a great way to feed radish to kids who hate this veggie.
I used :
Adapted from LemonKurry
Whole wheat flour – 1 cup
Ragi flour – 1/4 cup
Radish- 1 medium sized
Ajwain seeds- 1/4 teaspoon
Salt to taste
Oil to deep fry
- Peel and slice the radish into thin slices.
- Pressure cook / microwave with a little water.
- Once it is cool, drain the excess water and puree / mash the cooked radish.
- In a bowl add all the ingredients [except the oil] and add this puree little by little to make a firm dough. Water is not needed to make the dough. If the dough is sticky add a little more wheat / ragi flour.
- Heat oil for deep frying.
- Pinch out small balls from the dough and roll out into pooris.
- Deep fry one at a time till it puffs up and cooked
- Serve hot with potato masal or any side dish of your choice.
Note :
- Prepare the pooris as soon as you knead the dough.
- Ragi flour can be omitted and whole wheat flour alone can be used.

Tomorrow, I will be back with a recipe starting with ‘V’. Haven’t decided which one, so can’t ask you to guess 🙂
This looks like what we called "curry puffs" here in Singapore & we've potato fillings inside instead. Lovely!
Even am planning to make this puri,very tempting platter.
Great one if the kids refuse to eat a side dish.
very innovative recipe dear..
Nice recipe dear
I never thought of making radish curry as stand alone. I do add it to dals etc. Sounds yummy.
I use radish in sambars or in stuffed rotis. Ragi and radish in pooris is totally innovative 🙂
Sounds interesting and inviting,love to have those pooris with the curry…
those poori look so light and airy – my last attempt at poori was a flop – maybe I'll try your recipe
Looks very good and knowing you have sneaked in good stuff..must try this myself..
I absolutely love recipes like this that help sneak vegetables in kids meal. It will be especially helpful for parents with picky eaters. Also the Ragi makes it more wholesome 🙂
looks yummy…
Adding ragi and radish to poori is new to me.. So interesting and delicious poori..
