Nutrifresh Whole Wheat Pooris: A Delightful Twist on a Classic Favorite
In the bustling culinary landscape of India, few dishes hold as much nostalgic value and universal appeal as the humble poori. Whether it’s the centerpiece of a festive feast or a comforting Sunday breakfast, pooris have been a staple in Indian households for generations. But as more people seek healthier alternatives without compromising on taste, Gurgaon Mills brings you Nutrifresh Whole Wheat Pooris, a delightful and nutritious twist on this classic favorite.
The Tradition of Pooris
Pooris are deep-fried bread that originates from the Indian subcontinent. Traditionally made with all-purpose flour, this dish is known for its puffed, golden appearance and slightly crispy texture. Pooris are versatile and can be paired with a variety of accompaniments, from the tangy aloo sabzi to the sweet suji halwa. However, the use of refined flour, which lacks the nutrient-rich germ and bran, often makes it a less healthy option.
Enter Nutrifresh: A Healthier Choice
Recognizing the need for healthier ingredients in everyday cooking, Gurgaon Mills has developed Nutrifresh, a premium atta (flour) made from 100% whole wheat. Whole wheat flour retains the bran and germ, making it rich in fiber, vitamins, and minerals. This enhances not only the nutritional profile of the flour but also imparts a distinct, earthy flavor to the pooris.
Why Choose Nutrifresh Whole Wheat Pooris?
Nutritional Benefits: Whole wheat flour is a rich source of dietary fiber, which aids digestion and helps in maintaining a healthy weight. It’s also packed with essential nutrients like iron, magnesium, and B vitamins, which are crucial for overall health.
Flavor and Texture: Nutrifresh whole wheat pooris have a unique nutty flavor that sets them apart from their refined flour counterparts. The whole wheat gives the pooris a slightly denser texture, making them perfect for soaking up the flavors of the dishes they accompany.
Versatility: Whether you prefer your pooris with a spicy chana masala or a sweet and tangy aamras, Nutrifresh pooris are the perfect canvas. They can also be used as a healthy option for wraps and rolls.
Easy to Prepare: Making Nutrifresh pooris is as simple as their traditional counterparts. All you need is Nutrifresh atta, a pinch of salt, water, and oil for frying. The dough comes together quickly, and the pooris puff up beautifully in hot oil.
How to Make Nutrifresh Whole Wheat Pooris
Ingredients:
- 2 cups Nutrifresh Whole Wheat Atta
- A pinch of salt

Instructions:
- In a large bowl, combine the Nutrifresh atta and salt.
