Instructions
  1. Soak chana in water overnight. Boil Chana in water and add a little salt, in pressure cooker for 2-3 whistles. Once boiled, let it cool down and then grind it into a fine texture.
  2. In a mixing bowl mix all dry ingredients as listed, add water little by little and mix well. Knead the dough for 1-2 minutes and make a nice medium soft dough. Cover it and keep it aside for 1 hour.
  3. Divide the dough into four equal size dough balls. Take one dough ball, dust with atta and roll it using a rolling pin. Make a big, thin, circular shape. Cut it using a small cookie cutter.
  4. Cover the cut poories with clean, damp cloth. You should roll each poori using a rolling pin slightly before putting them in the oil, this helps most of them to pop up.
  5. Heat oil in a frying pan at medium to high heat, once it is hot enough, bring down the heat to medium. Drop the poori into the hot oil. Fry it till it has a golden color on both sides. Remove the poori from the hot oil, and place iit on tissue paper to absorb the excess oil. Let it cool down.
  6. Chana poories are ready for pani poori. Store it in a airtight container.
  7. Enjoy it with spicy and tangy pani along with potato and chna masala.
