Aligarh ki Khasta Poori with Aloo Sabji

Pooris are very popular deep fried flat breads in India. These are made in different styles. One style that is very popular and is very tasty comes from the North Indian town of Aligarh called ‘Aligarh ki Khasta Poori’ or ‘ Aligarh ki Khasta Kachori’. These go well with a spicy potato curry and a yogurt preparation called ‘Raita’ to reduce the heat. Here is my recipe for this delicious dish
