Why would I ever tell her that what she was eating with joy was beetroot. ~ hahaha ( evil laughter )
Well as they say, " Ignorance is Bliss "
I am happy that she is eating beetroot, She is happy that she got an interesting colored paratha instead of the regular boring paratha !! Happy Ending :))
It doesn't take much of an effort. Just grate beetroot and mix it with the regular flour and make chapatis the way it is usually made.
Ingredients:
- Whole Wheat Flour - 2 cups
- Grated Beetroot - 1 cup
- Warm Water - 1 cup approx
- Salt - to taste
- Chopped Green Chillies - 1 ( optional )
- Ajwain ( Carom Seeds ) - 1/4 tsp
Directions:
- In a mixing bowl, add wheat flour , grated beetroot, ajwain, chillies and salt. Avoid chillies when making for kids.
- Add water slowly to knead the dough till all the dough comes together.
- Rest the dough for half an hour.
- Make balls of equal size from the dough.
- Roll them into round parathas.
- Pre heat the tawa and layout this paratha on the hot tawa.
- Roast these parathas by applying ghee on both sides.
- Remove from the pan when both sides are cooked.
- Serve with boondi raita, any curry, pickle and salad.
