Beetroot Paratha

Beetroot Paratha was again an invention to get beetroot into my little picky eater. She would never eat if I made beetroot curry, but enjoy eating this red paratha, as she calls it.
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.

• 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.
