  End-notes: 1. while frying, make sure that the poori doesn't turn a shade of brown, remove it in less than 45 seconds. 2. You can serve the pooris with a side of my recipe (pindi chole), ketchup , jam, sugar and butter, mint chutney, tamarind chutney or just plain yogurt. 3. I have not made this recipe with self-rising flour before but have learned that if you do, you need to eat it soon and while they are hot for best taste results 4.
