Choliya Poori ~ A to Z Indian Pooris

Choliya Poori is made with fresh chickpea mixed with spices and deep fried as pooris. These are so delicious and can be enjoyed as such! Green Chickpea puri can be enjoyed for brunch or dinner with your favorite side dish.

When it came to the alphabet C, I had a choice of picking Coorgi Puris, Cauliflower Pooris, I thought I will make pooris with the fresh chickpea as I had some still frozen from the slash that Vaishali gave me almost a year back. I know we have talked about how funny we are when it comes to stocking ingredients that aren’t available easily.

Fresh Chickpea is something we don’t get in Madras so when I wanted to make some rice dishes for the AtoZ Quick Rice dishes, I had requested Vaishali to get some for me. So I made Cholia Chawal and Hare Chane Ka Pulav and still had some left. It surely came to rescue for this series.

Though the list was ready long back, I couldn’t make it ahead and had to make it in a hurry. So when I asked Amma to make this, Konda was insisting that we make it again for dinner so that she can take the puffed up Pooris. I was very clear that it can’t be postponed and you see she was so upset that the pooris didn’t stay puffed up.

The pooris were so tasty and we all enjoyed this version much. This Fresh Chickpea Pooris are for C in the AtoZ Indian Pooris that I have opted to make for BM#108 week 2.
