Tomato Mint Pori ( புதினா தக்காளி பூரி )



Ingredients:
Whole Wheat Flour ( கோதுமை மாவு ) - 2 cups.
Tomato ( தக்காளி ) - 2 
Mint Leaves ( புதினா ) - a handful
Ajwain / Omam ( ஓமம் ) - 1/4 tsp
Salt to taste ( தேவையான அளவு உப்பு )
Oil for deep frying ( பொரிப்பதற்கு எண்ணெய் )
Steps:
Blanch the tomatoes , remove the skin and make puree using a blender.
Add in the mint leaves and make a fine paste.
In a wide bowl add in wheat flour, ajwain,tomato paste and salt. 
Mix well to form a dough. 
Water may not be required. 
Roll into small balls, flatten into thin rounds.
Heat oil and deep fry the pooris one by one.
Serve hot with pickle or raitha. 



My Notes:
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.
