Poori Bhaji

Method

1. To make healthy pooris, take whole wheat flour, salt, 1 tsp cumin seeds and spinach puree in a bowl. Add sufficient water and knead into a stiff dough.
2. Heat sufficient canola oil in a kadai.
3. Divide the dough into equal portions and roll out each portion into small pooris. Slide them into the hot oil, one by one, and deep-fry till they puff up and become golden. Drain on absorbent paper.
4. To make bhaji, heat ghee in a non-stick pan. Add remaining cumin seeds, mustard seeds, green chillies and asafoetida and saute till the seeds splutter.
5. Take garam masala powder, dried mango powder, turmeric powder and red chilli powder in a small bowl, add a little water and mix to make a paste.
6. Add this paste to the pan and mix well. Add pumpkin, carrots, green peas and a little water and mix well. Cover and cook till the vegetables are done.
7. Serve hot with pooris.
