Kuttu Pooris (Buckwheat Flat Bread – Fried)

During the celebrations of Navratri (and some other festivals), devotees fast. Throughout this fasting period, people consume Kuttu (buckwheat). According to Hindu mythology, it is a strict NO for consuming grains during Navratri. Hence pseudo cereals such as kuttu or Singhara Ka atta(water caltrop/ chestnut) are consumed during this time. I have tried this recipe multiple times. It’s always so yummy. It’s so simple and uses few ingredients we have in our pantry.
