Roll into small balls, flatten into thin rounds.
Heat oil and deep fry the pooris one by one.

A spiced poori favoured by tomato lovers. Goes well as it is or any pickle or vegetable gravy is also fine.
When kids have a strong say of no to mint this is a nice way to mask and introduce the flavour to them and incorporate in the food menu slowly. The tangy tomato balances the pungent mint flavour.
