ALOO POORI

Last week my husband's cousin and his wife visited us. In between our conversation she told me that she had a cookery show in one of the Kannada channels. She had prepared Aloo Poori along with some north Indian dish and the pooris were real soft and fluffy. I did not ask her how she prepared. I had prepared ' potato ambodo masala a few days ago. And i could not make it on the same day so i kept it in the fridge. I thought I prepare poori with this aloo masala for breakfast today. Here is the recipe.. Do try..
