Just for everyone's info., & reference, I would like to inform that I include one more variety in poli called til(sesame poli).

This week, I am managing to post some puris recipes from the magazines and it was already tested by me, FYI.
Instead of making normal puris, if we make some modifications, everyone will take it and also add some healthy ingredients, the oil will not affect that much. Anyways...
Tomato puri:
Wheat flour 1 cup
tomato puree 1/2 cup
chilli powder 1/2 tsp
salt
water
Mix the dough with other ingredients and do it just like we make for usual puris. But, instead of water, add puree; leave it for 30 mts. Now, start making red color puris.
===================
Methi or spinach puris:
Just follow the above method. Instead of tomato puree, add this boiled greens. You can add spinach or methi separately or together. Either way, it will be great.
Some people does not want to find the greens while enjoying puris. In that case, cook the greens separately and use the drained water.
Green puri is ready.
=======================
Beet puri
Just follow the above method. Grinding beet and getting water is difficult. So, cook beet with water and save the water separately. Mix it with flour and pink color is ready to eat!
====================
For spicier version, you can add the following:
saunf(sombu) 1/2 tsp
jeera 1/2 tsp
coriander leaves 1 tbsp
Mix the above all with the flour and mix the juice whichever you want to, proceed.
=======================
Yellow puri:
Add 2 tsp of haldi with boiled and filtered jeera or ajwain water and prepare the dough as usual.
Healthy yellow puri is ready. When comes to haldi alone with puri, the taste will not be very catchy. Atleast, jeera or ajwain's smell will tempt you to take more.
================
Cheese puri:
Have already mentioned about cheese chappathi in Baby's food thread. For kids, you can serve this very well. Mix the grated cheese with the flour and knead. Proceed.
Similarly, in the place of cheese, add paneer and do. Paneer puri is ready.
===============
For everyone's information, have already posted a recipe called Rice puri with a variation. Instead of rice flour, have to add wheat flour and proceed.
Instead of plain water, boil the water with methi seeds and jeera until the boiling point is reached. Filter the water and mix with the dough. Indeed, it is a healthy puri.
=================
Tri color puri:
This one tried at my friend's place and forgot what she said about the recipe. Today, atlast found by myself. Among the kids, it was a big hit just becoz of the color.
Split three portions of the flour and add any colors you want to. Like, today, I prepared plain wheat flour, flour with haldi and flour with beet juice.
Knead them and keep them separately. Now, take a tiny size of balls from each. Important point is that the size should be even, otherwise, the color size will not come uniformly. Make a stiff balls without any break.
Dust it in the flour and roll it as usual with a pin. Now, you will see the three color in a SINGLE puri.
Try and let me know..
==========
Guess, today, this is enough. Will come up with a couple of more puri varieties soon. Meanwhile, if anyone has any interesting version of puris, you are welcome to post the same.
Wow R!! You are really good!! I always have this feeling that pooris are always unhealthy becoz of the oil but you have helped me look at it from a diff angle.
Tried arisi adai and beans roated gram usli. It was yumm!!
thanks
