It will be really helpful if you can also mention how (low, medium or high flame) & for how long the oil for pooris is to be heated (i.e low, medium or high flame) & also while cooking them on what flame should the gas be.

Try to make the dough hard because if the dough is hard you wont need to dap dry flour while rolling this willl ultimately not turn your frying oil black. Hence you can use it again, which will be as pure as your clea oil
