Palak poori is very easy to mamke if you have spinach leaves handy. Blanching the spinach leaves with some sugar helps in retaining color and the poori turns out to be vibrant too. Here in this recipe, I have flavored the poori with just ginger and green chilies. You can even add cumin seeds, crushed garlic and garam masala along with spinach leaves.
To make palak poori recipe, I have used some rava along with whole wheat flour. Adding rava makes poori crispier and also the poori remains puffy for sometime.
Serve palak poori with any spicy curry. I served palak poori with spicy aloo jhol and it was too good 🙂
