1

Prepare poori dough with wheat flour, water, ghee, and salt. Let the dough rest for 30 mins.

2

Soak almonds & cashew nuts for 30 mins. Blend the soaked almonds and cashews into a fine paste.

3

Now add grated coconut to this mix and blend it into a fine paste.

4

Pour milk into a vessel. Bring the milk to a boil and simmer till it reduces to three-fourths of its original quantity.

5

Add sugar, elaichi powder, and almond + cashew + coconut paste and mix. Simmer it till the milk thickens. Pour this reduced milk into a wide-mouthed bowl.

6

Divide the dough into small lemon-sized balls. Dust the working surface with some flour and roll out thin pooris.

7

Prick the pooris with a fork to avoid them from puffing up while frying.

8

Heat Gold Drop Refined Sunflower Oil for frying the pooris. Once the oil is hot, reduce the flame to medium and fry a poori. Once it is fried on both sides, remove with a slotted spoon and place it in the reduced milk.

9

Leave it for 5 - 10 seconds then remove carefully and keep it aside.
