Notes
Preparing everything side by side helps fasten the making of this recipe.
Make sure the milk is hot enough which helps in soaking poori.
Poori should not turn golden color as it will change the taste. So take them from oil as quick as possible.
Soak the poori 15 minutes before soaking as it will be prevent from too much soaking of poori.
Sugar mentioned in this recipe is according to my family, you can alter the measurement.
