4. Turn off the heat and add sliced almonds.

Making Poori:

1. Take maida, pinch of salt in a bowl. Add ½ tsp oil and mix this dry ingredient.
2. Add water little by little and make it a hard dough.(I used around 1 tbsp water.)
3. Divide the dough into 10 equal parts and take one portion, roll into a ball.
4. Roll this into thin circle using rolling pin.
5. Heat the oil in a pan to fry the poori on medium heat.
6. Once the oil is hot enough fry the prepared pooris one by one until the poori turns golden brown on both sides. Remove it and transfer it onto a paper towel
7. Repeat the same procedure with the remaining dough.

Once we are ready with all the pooris you have 2 options:

• You soak all these pooris in the payasa and then eat
• You serve the poori in an individual bowl, and pour the payasa on top of it and eat.
• Hope you enjoy this Poori Payasa!
