With winter going on in full swing, my kitchen is buzzing with umpteen flavours and ingredients that would complement this season.
The demand of my family to relish piping hot food for breakfast, lunch, dinner has again escalated and I am busy trying to serve them healthy, piping hot and delicious food throughout the day.
When it comes to dinner, I make sure to serve them soups like Mushroom Wine Soup and for lunch, I very recently surprised them with super delicious Methi Laccha Paratha and today for breakfast/supper, guess what are we going to relish- Bajra Methi Poori!
Bajra happens to be one of the healthiest ingredients that can be used for making puffed bread or flatbread just like we use wheat.
Hence, making Bajra Methi Poori was something that I was looking forward to since like eternity.

Plus, I love the fact the texture - coarseness that Bajra grants to this puffed bread.
Flavour-wise, it has this typical bitter, savoury taste that goes hand in hand with curries like Dum Aloo or Mathura ke Dubki Wale Aloo.
Savour these beautifully flavoured Pooris for breakfast, brunch or supper with a cup of tea and you would surely cherish the experience.
These poori are vegan and if you can roll them easily, try to skip the whole wheat flour, to make them gluten-free as well.
This recipe is also a good way to support our local grains and promote our farmers.
