Beetroot Poori Recipe | How to make Beetroot Poori recipe with step-by-step pictures and instructions. It is a colorful and nutritious poori made with the goodness of beetroot. Beetroot puree is added while making the dough. My kids call this pink poori and the best way to feed fussy kids. Color of the poori is so attractive and appealing to anyone. 

I make different vegetable purees and add them to the dough while making poori. You can also use leftover vegetable poriyal and use it for making parathas or poori. Serve it with potato masala, chole, or any curry of your choice. I served it with my no onion and no garlic chana masala. I pack this for my kids lunch box.

Notes

You can finely grate the beetroot instead of making puree.

You can add some spices to the dough to make it spicy if you prefer.

Dough should be always stiff for poori rather than soft which we use for chapati

Oil should be hot for poori to puff up. Once it puff up maintain the same flame.

Roll the poori neither too thin or too thick.
