Beetroot is a vegetable which is very good
for health and skin both, it contains vitamins, proteins, zinc, magnesium and iron
too. This time I choose “Beetroot Laddoo or Beet Raava Laddu” for festival
season under dessert from vegetable theme.
For this recipe, we have to cook everything
in ghee which enhance the taste of laddoos and combined in large bowl, prepare
small balls and garnish with cashew or almond halves. Beetroot specially used
for salad, adding color in food, savory items but this is my first trial to use
beet in sweet recipe. It is very simple and easy recipe plus healthy too. You
can store these laddoos for 5-6 days in airtight jar.
When my dish is ready, I was very happy
because it looks vibrant and delicious. Beetroot helps to reduce blood pressure
and heart attack problems. Its help in maintaining sugar level in blood and
maintain the good health.
