About Pooris
Pooris are a type of deep-fried bread popular in South Asian cuisine, particularly in India. Made from whole wheat flour, water, and a pinch of salt, the dough is rolled into small discs and fried in hot oil until it puffs up, creating a golden, crispy exterior with a soft interior. Often served with flavorful curries or sweets like halwa, pooris are enjoyed as part of festive meals or everyday breakfasts. While whole wheat provides some fiber and essential nutrients, the deep-frying process raises its calorie and fat content, making pooris an indulgent choice rather than a health-focused food. Consuming pooris in moderation is recommended, as excessive intake can contribute to a higher fat intake and may impact heart health over time. Pairing pooris with nutrient-rich sides like lentils and vegetables can help balance the meal.
