Whole wheat flour - Use good quality fresh wheat flour. Sieve and use. Can also use plain flour or maida.

Spice powders - turmeric, asafoetida, chilly powder, and garam masala are what make this poori recipe masaledar. All these spices give the puri a very nice flavor. Lemon juice helps balance the flavors. Apart from these ingredients, you will need oil for frying. Use a flavorless oil that has a high smoke point like any vegetable oil.
