WHEAT JOWAR METHI CURD POORI
![](https://tinditirtha.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/DSC07791.jpg)
I have used both whole wheat flour as well as Sorghum/Jowar flour in this recipe. I wanted to make use of fenugreek leaves/methi/menthya soppu, so Just to balance the bitterness of fenugreek leaves, I thought of adding curd and chilli flakes and it turned out super delicious
This is a different kind of poori recipe which has got the taste of sourness – from curds, bitterness – from methi/fenugreek leaves, hotness/spiciness – from ginger, green chilli & red chilli flakes and of course salt to taste.
Using fenugreek leaves/methi/menthya soppu (as called in Kannada) in one more way, and also making a deep fried dish little more healthy by adding healthy ingredients. We can also make paratha instead of poori using the same dough.
Here I have used Pigeon chopper to chop the methi leaves, it chops so finely and very quickly. Now a days I am using it more very often, It is a must have kitchen gadget I must say.
