Let the batter sit for 2 minutes as per package instructions.

Heat 4 cups of vegetable oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat.

Using a teaspoon, take a spoonful of batter and drop it into the hot oil.

Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown, totaling around 6-7 minutes.

Remove the poori from the oil and drain on a paper towel-lined basket.
