Not many of us love eating Beetroots but keeping in mind its health benefits, it is one super food which we should definitely include in our diet. The beautiful purplish color of beetroots not only makes any dish appealing but it also enhances the nutritive value of that dish.
There are numerous ways in which we can include Beetroots in recipes which we make for our kids. Be it the delicious parathas or pooris or even vegetables and tikkis. I have noticed that apart from the sweet taste there is no unique flavor which beetroot lends to any dish and that makes it, even more, easier to sneak it into all food items.
Beetroots are rich in essential vitamins and they are a great source of fiber. Moreover, they are packed with iron, magnesium, Vitamin C and potassium.
I am sure we all have tried different varieties of cheela which our mums have made for us. Some of the popular ones are besan cheela and cheela made with grated potatoes. How about relishing some crispy cheela with beetroot in it?
