Question

Isnt the "puffy taco" just a type of poori?

Answer 1

Indian poori is made using ATTA (whole wheat flour) & water.

Even salt is optional. There are no other ingredients --- no urad dal, no semolina, no plain flour.

Puffy tacos are made with masa/maseca.

But I agree, it is an Indian knockoff!

Answer 2

You might be right. The gordita at Taco bell is a wheat flour based -deep fried bread that is then stuffed like a taco. I love them but never made the poori connection until seeing your question.

Answer 3

That's an interesting way to think of it.  I guess it could be.

Answer 4

Yes, but a little lighter,flakier spanish version =)

3 cups corn tortilla mix /masa harina
