Poori Masala - The Indian coffee house style (easy recipe)

The Indian coffee house is the biggest restaurant chain in Kerala.  In most of the recipes of Indian coffee house, usage of beetroot is making them different from all other restaurant chains.  They are having their own recipes.  I love to eat beetroot from my childhood because of its colour.  Now also I have the same passion.  Whenever I visit the Indian coffee house, love to eat the food because of the same reason :-) 

Here, I wish to introduce the same kind of poori masala, which is very tasty as well as healthy breakfast or evening snack.  I am damn sure that if you try this recipe once at your kitchen, you will prepare the same dish frequently.  My kiddos love to eat this at home. This recipe is very simple and easy to prepare. Beetroot is a good source of iron and folic acid.  So the health benefits of this recipe is also amazing..
