Stuffed Peas Poori

Step by step procedure with photos to prepare a delicious and mouthwatering Stuffed Peas Poori. Most of us like poori and in this recipe we are going to make them taste heavenly by stuffing in peas and so it becomes extra tasty.

Pretty simple procedure - poori stuffed with cooked peas, onion, chilli, fresh coriander leaves along with little garam masala and salt. This recipe is tasteful, tempting and totally different from our regular poori. The texture would be - crispy outside while soft and flavourful from the core. This yummy poori doesn't require any side-dish as it taste awesome by itself. Making dough is similar to regular poori but here I have added a tablespoon of jeera(Cumin seeds) to improvise the taste. This is really good as kids lunch box food and also for a simple dinner. This is definitely a no fail recipe and so you can try them when you have guest or for family/friends get-together.
