I prepared these mini pink pooris for my daughter. This is one of the method to induce veggies into my daughter’s diet. She liked the pooris very much. For my surprise she took those pooris in her lunch box also.
Ingredients:
Maida-1cup
Atta-1cup
Beetroot-2
Salt-to taste
Procedure:
- Scrape the skin of beetroot and grate it.
- In a mixer grinder, grind it to a fine paste adding 1/2 cup of water.
- Remove juice using a strainer.
- Mix atta, maida, salt and the beetroot juice to prepare a firm dough.
- If the juice is not enough add little water.
- Prepare small balls out of the dough.
- Roll it to a circle of even thickness.
- Deep fry in oil.
- Serve hot.
A nice cauliflower masala to go with those cute pooris.
Ingredients:
Cauliflower-1
Tomato-3
Onion-2
Ginger- a small piece
Garlic-5pods
Chilly powder-1tsp
Coriander powder-1tsp
Garam masala-1/2tsp
Fennel seeds-1tsp
Salt- to taste
Turmeric powder-1/2tsp
Procedure:
- Cut cauliflower into small florets and boil it for 5 minutes in water. Strain water and keep the cauliflower pieces aside.
- In a pan heat 2tsp oil and add ginger and garlic. Saute till golden.
- Add onions and sauté till translucent.
- Add tomatoes and cook till the raw smell is gone.
- Grind this mixture to a fine paste.
- In a pan heat 2tbs oil and add fennel. When splutters add the paste.
- Add red chilly, garam masala, turmeric and coriander powders.
- Add salt to taste and let it cook for 5minutes on low flame.
- Add the cauliflower pieces and a little water required to get the gravy consistency.
- Let it cook for 2 minutes.
- Switch off flame and add the cilantro.
- Serve hot with roti, chapathi, naan or poori.
First I thought, it was food color. When I read your recipe – it was beetroot juice. What a nice idea! Thank you for the recipe. I am going to try it tomorrow. 🙂

Very inviting pink poori and masala, am drooling here..
Delicious looking meal..love the pink pooris.
delicious combination
இரண்டு சந்தேகம் காயத்ரி..
1.மைதாவும்,ஆட்டாமாவும் கலந்து போடுவதுக்கு பதிலா ஆட்டா மட்டும் போடலாமா?
2.பீட்ரூட் ஜூஸை மாவில் சேர்த்து பிசையும்போது கை ரெட் கலரா ஆகுமா?[சிரிக்காதீங்க மக்களே!பீட்ரூட் விஷயத்துல நான் ரொம்ப சென்ஸிட்டிவ்..க்ளவுஸ் போட்டுட்டுதான் தோலே சீவுவேன்.ஹிஹி]
பூரி பார்க்கவே அழகா இருக்கு!
this is perfect for kids…even am drooling here as well.
delicious and healthy poori.. looks simply amazing.. gr8 job !!
ur daughter is so lucky to have this in her lunchbox!! the beetroot has lent an amazing shade of pink to the pooris 🙂
healthy poori’s with nice pink color…my son also asking me poori’s …i think i need to prepare…
Mahi! Beetroot will not stain your palm and you can use only atta for the pooris.
tkz for the clarification dear! 🙂
My daughter will have it for the color – great idea to use beetroot juice – I will certainly give this idea a try
loved these pink puris.. innovative!
