It’s a bit oily affair since the pooris are deep fried. But alls well that ends well. This breakfast combo is deadly. Don’t have it daily though….as I said it oily. And you surely are not looking at putting on extra kilos…! But do try making poori bhaaji out…you will love it

Onions – 2 medium nos (finely chopped)
Tomato – 1 big sized (finely chopped)
Ginger – 1 inch (slit into pieces)
