The difference is all in the dough kneaded before the frying process. Garlic and potato are added to the flour along with green chilli and other usual spices. Also, semolina flour (sooji) is added to lend some crunch to the fried pooris.
Crush green chilli, garlic and ginger in mortal and pestle. Now, grate boiled potatoes and knead dough with wheat flour and semolina flour mixed with grated potatoes, crushed green chilli, garlic and ginger, along with red chilli powder, salt, cumin seeds and chopped coriander leaves. Knead lightly to make soft dough. Then, grease you palms with some oil and coat the dough. Cover it and let it rest for at least 5 minutes before rolling and frying this yummy poori.
