NIMMA POORI / LEMON POORI [DESEERT]



Nimma poori  - Wow ! what is it , are you  thinking  like  this . It is a dessert  item  : ) ya  it  is  a sweet item .
I  prepared  this  item when I was in my 7 th or 8th  standard . It was a competition that was held by  mom and uncles when we went to my grand ma's house  between all  the children  .Those were the days  where  children  use to play  not  on net or tv any thing . Ok now we talk about competition  they told us to do any item with in half an hour  time  they made batches of two , me and my cousin  were in one batch and we won it . that time we invented this recipe , I love  this one up to now and recently  I prepared this item  for my son and he also  loved this item too so I want to share  my  child hod innovative dish with all .

Ingredients - 

For  syrup - 
  • sugar - 3 cups 
  • water - 6 cups 
  • lemon - 1/2 piece 
Let's prepare  sugar syrup - 

·         Make syrup  by  boiling  water  and  sugar  in a vessel  until  the  sugar  dissolves and 4 mint's after dissolving also .
·         Turn  off  from  heat  and  add cardamom powder  and  mix  well  and  keep aside  
·         Now  add  1/2 piece of  lemon and  mix  the   juice   with  the  prepared  syrup  


   

   
For making dough -
  • Wheat flour - 1 glass
  • Salt - 1/4 tsp
  • Oil - 1/2 tsp
Take a mixing bowl and add all ingredients  and  add water accordingly  and knead  the  flour  to a soft dough  {the dough should be slightly stiff   than chapati  dough , but not too stiff } don't let to rest  the dough, 
For making poori  take 
  • Oil - for deep frying 
  • Dry flour { I use rice flour or maida  flour for poori  dusting as when we deep fry wheat flour will spoil the oil means black after 6 poori and the seventh one  will be black husk on it so i don't use you all also try this way }
Making  of poori - 

Knead  the  dough  nicely  and  make equal  sized small balls  out of it  and flatten it slightly  and close a cloth  on them , 

mean while place the wok on the stove and add oil  for  deep frying  and lit the flame .................

Take  one  one flattened balls  down the covered cloth  and  

Roll  it out in circles with  the  help  of  a rolling  pin  dusting  with  a  little  flour .

The  rolled  out  should  not  be  too thin  or  thick  . It  should  be  medium  type and equal to all sides  not thin   in  the  middle  . so check it  it  should  be  equal 

As far as possible use less  dusting  of  flour  {you  make  small size of poories not very big  by this  we can use less  dry flour  for dusting and also use less  oil  in wok for deep  frying - my grand ma says this is a tip as we won't use  this fried oil  for  cooking and all so.....................}


To check oil temperature  means hot  for frying pooris , drop a small piece  of dough in  the hot  oil , If  it sizzles  and  comes up to the surface immediately , then yes . If the dough becomes too brown then the oil is too hot  so you keep  the wok aside for 3 mint's and again start , means the oil  should be hot but not too hot like smoke will come from  oil .

Now  we  will start  frying  the prepared poori's one after  one  not two or three at a time .

Gently  slide  one  of  the  rolled  poori  in the hot  oil  and press slightly  with  the  slotted  ladle and  fliker hot oil  on it  and again turn to the other side  and fry till golden color  , remove it with  the slotted ladle by draining  the  excess of  oil  and  transfer it to a kitchen towel / absorbing paper  if any excess of  oil  it  will remove it .
{Remove the  poori  from  oil  , little  crisp not soft }
And  repeat  it   in  the same  way  with  all  the  poories .


Now  assembling -

Add  these  prepared  little crispy poori  to  the  prepared  syrup and  

 


and  leave  it  for  5 mint's  to soak  and  remove  it  to  a  serving  plate  and  serve  hot  .

These  poori  will taste  super   when  they are  warm  good  when  cold  .

Enjoy  the  dessert  after your  lunch  or  dinner ; )
