Servings:6-7 (makes 18-20)
Cooking Time: 50 minutes

Ingredients

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
A pinch of baking soda
A pinch of salt (optional)
2 tbsp poppy seeds (khus-khus)
3/4 cups sugar (adjust to taste)
1 banana, mashed
1 tsp lime juice
Vegetable oil for deep-frying

Preparation

Mix all the ingredients with just enough water to make a stiff dough. Cover and set aside for 15 minutes.
Make 3/4-inch size balls, sprinkle some poppy seeds on the board, and roll one on the poppy seeds so they stick to the poori, to a thin, even disc about 2.5 inches in diameter.
Heat oil in a frying pan, and fry the poori until puffed up and golden brown. Make sure the oil is not overheated (to determine the right temperature, put a tiny ball of dough in the oil; if it rises to the top immediately, the oil is ready). Place on paper towels to drain excess oil. Repeat with the remaining dough.
Serve the banana poori hot.
