Is the daughter from bengali community?
In bengali, vegetables fried or toasted in the oven are called "pora". for example, toasted brinjel= "begun pora"
toasted mango = "aam pora".
fishes are also toasted and called "maachh pora".
sometimes these "poras" are wrapped into banana leaf for carrying purpose.

Porus, the King of Pauravaa, a kingdom in Punjab
King Porus (also Raja Puru), was the King of Pauravaa, a Kingdom in Punjab located between the Jhelum and the Chenab (in Greek, the Hydaspes and the Acesines) rivers in the Punjab and dominions extending to Hyphasis. Its capital may have been near the current city of Lahore.
Bhera is the historical town to which Porus or Purushotthama of the Puru tribe belonged. Purushotthama (c.325 BC) was the king of Kekaya the land of the Puru tribe, one of the Janapadas (kingdoms) that originated from Aryan settlements in ancient India. Its location was in what is now middle Punjab, the areas between the rivers Jhelum and Chenab and its extent varied from time to time.
The palace of Sopeithes which the Greek historian Arrian mentions as the place on the Hydaspes is supposed to be at Bhera. The Greeks refer to the Jhelum river as the Hydaspes River where Alexander fought Porus in Battle of the Hydaspes River in 326BC .It was at this battle that Alexander's famous horse Bucephalus was killed .The history of the Kukhran clan is inextricably intertwined with the ancient town of Bhera .
The Purus are a tribe or a confederation of tribes mentioned in the Rigveda. The RV 7.96.2 locates them at the banks of the Sarasvati River. The Puru were ostensibly defeated by king Sudas at the Battle of the Ten Kings.

King Porus was said to be "5 cubits tall", either the implausible 2.3 m (7½ ft) assuming an 18-inch cubit, or the more likely 1.8 m (6 ft) if a 14-inch Macedonian cubit was meant.

Poras is actually the changes form of Pauroush. In the Eastern areas "Sha" accent is changed by the speakers into "sa". Thus Pauroush becomes Poras.

sort of a pancakes
If, as you say it has something to do with meals, then in all probabilities it is a type of pancake, made from dough of gram/pulses/rice. Should pronounce like pooda. Another popular term used for this is Cheela/chilla
