The beetroot paratha stands out for its bright red colour as the strong colour of the vegetable. Considering all the health benefits of beetroot, this is an easy way of getting your kid to eat them. I have added the step of grinding the beetroot into a fine paste so that little kids who dont like to chew can eat it easily, this step can be ommitted if you are preparing it only for older kids and adults. A recommended dish to include in the family diet on a regular basis.

beetroot juice is very healthy and instead of burning all of it, it would be more useful dat we squeeze out as much juice as we can and use it to knead the atta dough along w/water.dont u think it;; b more nutritious!!
