Indian Street Food | Rare Street Food of Kashmir | Big Puri with Halwa

Halwa poori is a part of traditional Indian and Pakistani cuisine. The dish consists of poori bread with chana masala, along with halwa. The food originated in northern India mainly in Uttar Pradesh and in modern day Pakistani Punjab and Indian Punjab and usually in Uttar Pradesh and Pakistani Punjab it is eaten as a breakfast on weekends in cities like Lahore, Faisalabad and in many other cities. It is served as prasada by Hindus and Sikhs in the Indian states of Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Punjab, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Bihar, and Madhya Pradesh. Halwa Poori is eaten at all times, but it is usually a part of breakfast or an early evening meal. It is also eaten by Muslims during Ramadan and during the occasion of religious festivals.

Puri in general is most commonly served at breakfast. It is also served at special or ceremonial functions as part of ceremonial rituals along with other vegetarian food offered in prayer as prasadam. The name puri derives from the Sanskrit word पूरिका (pūrikā), from पुर (pura) “filled”. Puri also means Bread in Georgian. Puri is prepared with wheat flour, either atta (whole wheat flour), maida (refined wheat flour), or sooji (coarse wheat flour). A dough of flour and salt is either rolled out in a small circle or rolled out and cut out in small circles and deep fried in ghee or vegetable oil. While deep frying, it puffs up like a round ball because moisture in the dough changes into steam which expands in all directions. When it is golden-brown in color, it is removed and may be served hot or saved for later use (as with the snack food pani puri). The rolled puri may be pricked with a fork before deep frying to get a flat puri for chaat like bhel puri. A punctured puri does not puff when cooked because the steam escapes as it cooks.

Puri can be served with halwa, korma, chana masala, dal, potato based curries (e.g.: saagu, bhaji, bhujia), shrikhand, basundi. In some parts of India, puri is also served with a mixed vegetable dish that is prepared during Puja, and with kheer, a dessert prepared with rice, milk and sugar.
