                                                                    Mix Fruit Poori

This post is a total dedication to my grandmother whom we called Akka lovingly, who was an excellent cook. We all loved the savories and the sweets made by her.  Not only family but even friends would vouch for this. She will be always loved and missed. The memory goes... in my house the fruits which were bought would get all over when freshly bought and then a lone fruit would lie uneaten even after several pleas from her to finish it off. She would finally get fed up and mix some flour and semolina in it and make sweet rotis from it. This would just be polished off within minutes loaded with smear of fresh home made clarified butter...ghee...toop, call it what you want. The same happened with me too, 1 banana, 1 strawberry and 1 fig remained after all the rest were eaten. Then Akka came to my mind. Here comes my recipe with a little addition and a little indulgence!!

Ingredients

1 ripe banana, the big green variety mashed well
1 fig, grated
2 strawberries, the big variety, grated
1 tspn honey
A pinch of salt
2 tspn ghee
1/2 cup semolina
Whole wheat flour as required
Ghee or oil for frying, as per your wish

Method

In a mixing bowl take all the ingredients except the flour, mix all well, add flour bit by bit to make a firm dough for frying pooris. Do not keep the dough for long else it will get watery with the juices released. Now in a pan take either oil or ghee, heat it and make pooris like we would normally. The taste is awesome with the sweetness of the fruits and the little bites of the seeds from the strawberries and fig. These taste great as they are, better with a smear of ghee rolled, another option is to eat it with lemon pickle.
