These are best made fresh and served hot. The batter can be made in advance and refrigerated. However, if they are made ahead of time, then reheat in a stack of four, properly wrapped, in the microwave oven (1 to 2 minutes) or the conventional oven (10 minutes at 375 degrees F). Healthy Alternative: Make on a heavy skillet, using oil spray or very little oil. Use them as wraps and fill with sauteed vegetables or beans.

The poori didn't puff up as much as I hoped. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

These poori were a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I'll use less chili powder next time.

The batter was a bit too thick for my liking. I had to add a little extra water to get it to the right consistency.
