Flavourful and nutritious Pooris to try this winter
Palak poori is full of iron and vitamins. The puree of fresh spinach leaves is mixed with whole wheat flour to make dough. These crispy pooris can be served with yogurt or aloo curry for a complete meal.
Methi leaves are a winter essential that gives it a special taste and loads of health benefits. Finely chopped methi is kneaded in the poori dough with the addition of cumin and ajwain for extra flavors. These pooris can help keep the winter blues at bay and enhance digestion.
Beetroot pooris are full of colour. Beetroot is rich in antioxidants and gives the pooris a beautiful reddish-pink hue. The earthy flavour of beetroot goes well with spicy potato or chana masala.
Carrots, abundant in winter, are grated and combined with ginger for a flavorful twist. The sweetness of carrots and the warming effect of ginger make these pooris both delicious and nutritious, perfect for a cosy breakfast.
Bathua, a winter green loaded with vitamins and minerals, is often overlooked. Mixing bathua puree into your poori dough creates a nutrient-rich and flavorful dish. Serve these pooris with raita or pickle for a complete meal
Pumpkin pooris are a little sweet and full of beta-carotene, very good for a boost in immunity during winter. Boiled pumpkin puree is kneaded into the dough with a pinch of nutmeg or cinnamon to add warmth.
