Beetroot Roti

I make this roti very regularly to feed my kids some veggies. So that they have some good dietary fiber and more important a good source of iron.   But I never thought of it as a recipe to write in my blog. 

But last week one of my colleague asked me for some form by which she could feed her kids some beetroot. And this recipe came out instantly.  So, that’s how I thought of putting this recipe in the blog.  

Hope you would try and enjoy it.

Ingredient

Whole wheat flour – 2 cups

Beetroot – 1 medium size
Ginger – ½ tsp
Green chilli – 1
Salt as per taste
Water to knead and grind – about 1cup
Ghee – to spread on the roti

Method

1.   Peel off the skin of the beetroot and cut into small pieces.

2.     In a mixer add the cut beetroot, ginger, green chilli and salt and grind it into a fine paste.  Add a 2tbsp of water if it is not becoming a paste.

3.     Mix the wheat flour and the beetroot paste and try to knead into dough.  if the water content of the paste is less add more water to knead into a dough.

4.    Make small balls of the dough. Dust it with the flour and roll it into thin round roti.

5.     Now put the roti on a hot griddle. First cook one side and then turn and cook the other side. Now press the side of the cooked roti with a ball of cloth, the roti’s will puff.

6.     Apply a ¼ tsp of ghee on both sides.

7.     The roti’s are ready to eat.
