Ingredients:

1. Dinesh Flour Mills Atta (Whole wheat flour ) - 2 cups
2. Salt - to taste
3. Water - for kneading
4. Oil - for deep frying

For the Saffron/Orange Color:

1. Carrot juice - 3 to 4 tbsp or
2. Orange food color - a pinch (if you're using it)

For the Green Color:

1. Spinach (Palak) puree - 3 to 4 tbsp or
2. Green food color - a pinch (if you're using it)

Method:

1. Preparing the Dough:

   • Divide the whole wheat flour into three equal parts (approximately 2/3 cup each).

2. Saffron/Orange Dough:

   • In one part, add carrot juice (or a pinch of orange food color) and knead it into a firm dough. If the dough feels sticky, you can add a little plain flour. Once kneaded, set it aside covered with a damp cloth.

3. White Dough:

   • In the second part, add water and salt. Knead it into a firm dough. Again, set it aside covered with a damp cloth.

4. Green Dough:

   • For the third part, add the spinach puree (or a pinch of green food color) and knead it into a firm dough. Set it aside covered with a damp cloth.

5. Resting:

   • Allow all three doughs to rest for about 20-30 minutes.

6. Making the Pooris:

   • Take a small portion from each dough and roll them into balls.
   • Place the green dough ball at the bottom, then the white, and then the saffron/orange on top.
   • Gently press them together and then roll them out into a circle, similar to how you'd roll regular pooris. Make sure you don't roll them too thin, as they should puff up when frying.
   • Repeat the process with the remaining dough.

7. Frying the Pooris:

   • Heat oil in a deep frying pan.
   • Once the oil is hot, gently slide in the rolled poori. Press gently using a slotted spoon; this will help the poori puff up.
   • Flip the poori once the bottom side turns golden brown. Fry the other side until it's golden brown as well.
   • Remove the poori and place it on a paper towel to remove excess oil.
   • Repeat the process for the remaining pooris.

Serve the tricolor pooris hot with your choice of curry, yogurt, or pickle. Enjoy the festive feel they bring to your table!
