Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup Multigrain Flour
- 1.5 tsp Salt or to taste
For Frying
- 2-3 cup Vegetable Oil or any oil suitable for frying
Instructions
Prepare the Beetroot
- Peel and finely chop 1 medium beetroot (approximately 150-200g). Grind the chopped beetroot into a smooth paste using a food processor or blender.
Make the Dough
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of multigrain flour and 1.5 tsp salt. Add the beetroot paste and 1-2 tbsp of water gradually, mixing until a soft, pliable dough forms. Knead the dough for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Rest the Dough
- Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for at least 15-20 minutes. This allows the gluten to relax, resulting in softer poories.
Roll and Fry the Poories
- Heat 2-3 cups of vegetable oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pan or wok over medium heat. Pinch a small, lemon-sized portion of the dough and roll it into a thin, round circle using a rolling pin.
- Carefully place the rolled poori into the hot oil. Fry for about 1-2 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and puffed up. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels.
Serve
- Serve the Beetroot Poories hot with your favorite curry, chutney, or pickle.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Beetroot Pooris
- For a richer beetroot flavor, roast the beetroot before grinding it. This intensifies its sweetness and earthiness.
- If the dough feels too dry, add a little more water, one tablespoon at a time. If it's too sticky, add a little more flour.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when frying. Fry the poories in batches to ensure even cooking and puffing.
- Adjust the frying time depending on your stovetop and the thickness of the poories. Thicker poories will require longer cooking time.
