We all know that Holi is a festival of colors. Many dishes are prepared at home on this day. In many homes, it's customary to eat puris and pudas. Therefore, you can make colorful puris for your children at home. People often think that making colorful puris would be very difficult, but they're quite simple.
Instead of consuming adulterated sweets and junk food available in the market, you can prepare a colorful and healthy lunch for children at home using natural ingredients.

You can make green and red puris at home. You can use spinach and beetroot for this. The good thing is that they are not only attractive to look at but also rich in nutrition. The iron in spinach and the antioxidants in beetroot help boost children's immunity. So, let's learn the complete recipe in this article.
How to prepare spinach 'green puri'?
First, wash and lightly boil fresh spinach, then grind it in a mixer to form a thick paste.
Add this spinach paste, a little celery, salt, and a teaspoon of oil to wheat flour and knead a stiff dough. Now fry it like regular puris.
These spinach puris not only look attractive but also have health benefits for children.
How to make Beetroot 'Red Puri.'
Peel and grate the beetroot or cut it into small pieces. Grind it with a little water, then strain and extract the juice.
Use this pink juice to knead the dough; adding a little nigella seeds enhances the taste.
The betalains in beetroot help alleviate anemia and maintain energy levels in children.
Why is this 'colorful lunch' special for children?
On Holi, children are so busy playing with colors that they forget to eat, so these colorful puris attract them.
Using natural colors in food instead of artificial colors prevents allergies and stomach problems.
You can serve these puris with yogurt, paneer curry, or mango pickle.
The perfect balance of health and taste
These spinach and beetroot puris will be loved by children and adults alike. In the hustle and bustle of the festival, they are a quick and nutritious option that will refresh everyone. This time, spread joy not only outside with colors, but also on your plate, and celebrate a healthy Holi.
