Beetroot Chapathi

Beetroot Chapathi or Paratha is a nice way to make our kids eat the veggie:) Also sprinkling sesame seeds gives an extra health boost, crunchiness and also attractive to kids!

Since this is kid friendly recipe, I have not added any spice powders but its purely upto one's own choice. We can add Cumin Powder / Red chilly powder / Garam Masala

Ingredients:

• Wheat flour / Atta - 2 cup 
• Beetroot - 1 no (Small / Medium sized)
• Oil - 1/4 -1/2 tsp
• Water - as required
• Salt - to taste
• Sesame seeds - 1-2 tbsp 
• Wheat / Rice flour - for dusting

Optional: 

• Any spice powders of our choice can be added to taste such as Cumin powder, Red chilli powder, Garam Masala Powder 

Method:

1. Wash, peel the skin and chop the beetroot into medium sized pieces; Cook it in little water until it becomes tender
2. In a blender, take the cooked beetroot pieces and grind to a smooth puree by adding required water if needed
3. In a wide bowl, take 2 cups of wheat flour, beetroot puree and required salt
   
   
   
    
4. Mix well and knead into a smooth soft dough (Add water only if required). Coat the dough with 1/4 tsp of oil and keep covered for 30 mins to one hour
   
5. After an hour, knead the dough for 2 mins and divide the dough into equal lemon sized balls 
   
6. Take one dough ball, dust it with flour, flatten it, sprinkle around 1/4-1/2 tsp of sesame seeds and roll into a thin paratha
   
7. Heat the tawa, place the parathas and cook till bubbles started to appear on the surface
   
8. Turn over and cook the other side
   
9. Once it's cooked, transfer to plate or place it in hot box
   
10. Serve hot with any gravy of your choice
