Halwa Puri

Halwa Puri-- a delicious blend of savory and sweet dishes that combine to form a traditional Pakistani brunch! Halwa puri is made of 4 dishes: spicy chana (chickpeas) masala, easy spiced aloo (potatoes), fluffy poori (fried flatbread), and sweet soogi (semolina)  halva!

​

Halwa Puri is a traditional Pakistani brunch/breakfast that is usually eaten at special occasions! It's a very decadent and indulgent dish-- guaranteed to make your morning much better! A few things to keep in mind:

• halwa puri is eaten once in a while, so the recipe is pretty heavy in oil, but it still has less oil than restaurant-made halva puri

• you can decrease the oil if you want, but your final results may be different

• we used whole wheat flour (atta) for our puris, but you can also use all-purpose flour (maida)

• we used can tomato sauce in the chana masala and spiced aloo, but you can substitute with fresh tomato puree (you'll have to increase the cooking time)

• we used achari masala on our potatoes (recipe included) but you can substitute with salt, pepper, and chili powder (the flavor will be different)

​

We've made this classic recipe easy and simple so that you can enjoy halva puri without spending hours in the kitchen! So cook up these 4 easy dishes, serve with achar or yogurt, and ENJOY!
