Aloo poori is a deep-fried Indian flatbread recipe made with whole wheat flour and some spices. All the ingredients including boiled potatoes, carom seeds, cumin seeds, coriander leaves, and spices. This recipe is an independent recipe, which means you can consume aloo poori as it is without any curry or sides.
This is a simpler version of aloo paratha where all the ingredients are mixed together and form a dough. Then this dough is divided into small golf ball-sized portions, flattened using a rolling pin, and then deep-fried. This is a poori so it is deep-fried, but you can shallow fry them like chapati or paratha.

Notes
- Always smash the potatoes with the help of a grater or potato smasher. Don't leave any potato lump otherwise, your puri won’t taste good.
- Use of Ajwain is optional but it adds an added taste to puris.
- Add water to the wheat flour parts by parts because the potatoes also leave a small amount of water while kneading.
- Always remember, to heat the oil to its max temperature. This is because if the oil is not much hot, then your puri won’t puff up and would soak excess oil.
