Beetroot Paratha

Healthy, nutritious and wholesome dish. This can be the best description for Beetroot Paratha. The colour itself is so radiant that you can enjoy it all by itself.


Ingredients:

Beetroot - 1 med
Wheat flour - 2 cups
Garam Masala - 1/2 tsp
Cumin Powder (jeera) - 1/2 tsp
Sugar - 1 tsp
Oil
Salt to taste


Method:

Make dough with the flour with little salt and a tsp of oil. Knead it well and keep aside.

Peel the beetroot and grate it finely. Squeeze it to remove excess water since it becomes difficult to roll the dough.

Add garam masala, jeera powder, salt and sugar to the beetroot and mix well.

For each paratha take two small sized dough and roll them about the size of poori.

On one of the rolled dough, spread a little bit of beetroot mix. Place the other rolled dough over it and seal the ends. Now roll them again and make paratha.

Roast it on the tava on both sides with little oil. Serve hot with raitha and tomato ketchup.

Note:

The juice squeezed out from the beetroot can be added to the raitha, or you can simply add little salt and pepper and have a superb drink.

Enjoy Cooking.. :)

  1. For Beetroot parotha, why to add sugar when beetroot itself is sweet?

  2. Adding sugar enhances the taste of beetroot. Beetroot has a little sweet taste, but adding sugar along with the other masala will give it a good flavour.
