My 71st recipe, "Mini Heart Poori", a Valentine's Day inspired Indian Bread recipe. Another Indian recipe modified to suit the colors of valentine's day. What better dish I could make for breakfast/dinner on the special day.
Poori is always one of my special dishes. My mom used to prepare this for weekend dinners along with potato masala and I always have pleasant memories of sitting down with my family and enjoying pooris during weekends. There could be nothing else that is more special than sitting down with your family and sharing lovely food and memories together.
This poori I made for my Valentine is extra special, naturally colored pink with beets, shaped like a heart and lots and lots of love of course. When puffed they look really cute and adorable <3
