Mom's Recipies

This Palak Poori  is my  family's favorite breakfast. But due to weight concern's I make it once a month only.It is made with fresh Spinach leaves and whole wheat flour and served with potato masala or pickle and any Chutney.. Kids and everyone else  will definitely love it. You do not need Pop Eye to make kids eat it. My little daughter don’t eat veggies but she love to eat this Pooris very much.. It can be eaten at breakfast, lunch or dinner or can be made specially for guests or for any festivals.
