    Maharashtrian Poori is a deep fried Indian Flatbread from the state of Maharashtra region. This poori is made with spices and herbs and is an ideal food to be packed for school or travel as well.

    When Vaishali had shared it last week, I had to make it right away. This poori is made with all the spices and herbs added to the flour and kneaded to a shift dough. Making just for the kids hardly takes much time and it can be so easily done within 30 mins. Since this is spicy and tastes great as such, you really don't have to worry about packing a separate side dish if you are in a hurry, just pickle and curd will do.

    Konda enjoyed both the Aloo Palak Poori and this one. Athamma said it will be great to be packed as a travel food as it's good on its own. Sunday was such a hectic day with regular morning chores, and on top, I suddenly realized I could make this variety pooris for Konda's lunch. Apart from making these and wanting to click pictures, so many other things came up and the pooris feel flat!

    So you got to see these flat pooris that are part of the BM#97, Week 2, where I am making Lunch Boxes for Kids, In 30 Minutes.

      I had also bookmarked these pooris from Vaishali's place. I am yet to try these. Your post is tempting me to try these sooner.

      Wow! This spicy poori looks absolutely delicious. Adding onions in poori dough is something new, but I am sure they taste amazing.
