Beetroot Poori/Puri for Prashad Bhog

Poori or puri is a small sized fried flatbreads, they are generally prepared with wheat flour, here I’ve prepared this recipe for prashad bhog for Lord, hence I’ve not added onion seeds or kalaonji seeds into it, also for enhancing its texture I’ve used boiled beetroot as boiling the beetroot gives a good pigmentation to the recipe, even my process of kneading of poori dough is little different, if one follow this process then there would be no any requirement of extra dried flour or even oil while rolling it.
