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.
