Beetroot poori recipe with step by step photos. Sharing a crispy puffy poori with whole wheat flour and beetroot puree. This beetroot poori is a very good one among toddlers and kid breakfast recipes.
We all know that toddlers and kids love poori, crispy, all puffed and tasty, no wonder everyone loves poori. Here I have added the goodness of beetroot to the all time favorite poori to make beetroot poori 🙂 We grew up eating such tasty and healthy breakfast recipes like potato poori, methi poori, carrot idli and many more. Such toddlers and kids breakfast recipes are more healthy, fun and attractive, colorful and you can also sneak in the goodness and nutrients of vegetables in them.
To make beetroot poori, I have used organic whole wheat flour and nice fresh beets. Along with whole wheat flour I have used rava to make crispy poori, you can actually see that in the dough picture below. I have added ajwain/omam to the dough just for some flavor, also ajwain helps in digestion.
I served beetroot poori with a quick baby corn curry, it was such a hit combination. The pooris turned out so well, each and every poori puffed up like a ball and was so tasty. Here in this recipe I have used the beetroot juice for kneading the dough, in few recipes beet puree is used but I always use juice.
