Pumpkin Poori - Snack Recipe!!

Pumpkin poori is a wonderful Snack Recipe of Maharashtra. This recipe is shared to me by my cousin, who is a viewer of my blog and YouTube channel.
  Pumpkin poori is also called as Gharge.
This recipe is prepared during Snacks time, and even they do neivedhiya to Ganesh ji during Ganesh Chaturthi.
   This is not very sweet nor Savoury!! Even it can be prepared for evening tiffin.

Ingredients:
Yellow Pumpkin - 1 cup chopped
Whole wheat flour - 150 grms / 1 cup
Jaggery - 2 tsp
Dry Ginger powder - 1/2 tsp
Salt to taste
Oil required for frying

Method:
# wash and chop pumpkin, and add little water and boil.

# Dissolve jaggery in water and strain it.

# When pumpkin is boiling add jaggery syrup.

# Once boiled well allow it to cool.

# Put it in mixer jar and make puree.

# Mix whole wheat flour, salt, dry ginger powder, and pumpkin puree and knead a dough. It should be stiff dough.

# Heat a pan / kadai add oil, once heated roll the dough in poori.

# Check by putting a small ball of dough whether the oil is heated.

# Fry your pooris, let it puff well then turn to other side. Once fried remove and serve.
   We should always keep the oil in smoking temperature, while deep frying.
This is because the oil will not be soaked much, whatever you fry.

I have served these pumpkin poori with mango pachadi / Chutney.
