    Ajwain Puri is a deep-fried puffed Indian bread flavoured with carom seeds. These are crispy delicious pooris served with side dishes like Amritsari Aloo or Chana Masala and Boondi Raita to make it a complete meal.

    This Puri Flavoured With Carom Seeds is a very simple and easy Indian Bread to make and it sure is healthy as it has Ajwain Seeds added. Cooking a little longer will get you a crispy texture that makes it a wonderful taste. You can serve this for breakfast or any meal along with side dishes.

    This Punjabi Breakfast was one of the first ones I prepared for this theme. Since it involved puris, it was easy to decide. Sundays mostly end up being a brunch and I wanted to have some sweets included. Both were almost an afterthought and I had to come up with some instant versions.

    The whole platter was most enjoyable as everything complemented and was a delicious one. Ajwain Poori is the featured dish in the Punjabi Breakfast Thali. On SYL, it's another popular Street food menu!

    As part of the Punjabi Nasta Thali, I served these pooris with Dal, Pindi Chole and for dessert, it is Vegan Carrot Halwa and Rabdi.

      I almost make pooris adding ajwain but never thought to post it on the blog as I thought it is a default ingredient 🙂 Love all the components on the menu.

      Ajwain Pooris look nice and crisp, I normally do not use ajwain for all pooris, but yes in a few I do add. These pair well with chole, and how nice that your family enjoyed this brunch.

      The pooris have puffed out so well. Adding Ajwain definetly helps in digestion and adds to flavour too.
