Beetroot Paratha Recipe.

Ingredients:

3/4 Cup beetroot chopped (small)
1 1/2 cups atta or whole wheat flour
salt as needed
1 clove garlic or lehsun optional
1/2 inch ginger optional
1 green chili or 1/4 tsp pepper powder
1/2 to 1 tbsp oil
1/2 tsp garam masala optional
water as needed to make the dough
ghee or oil as needed for toasting

Recipe Instructions:

To remove the pungent flavor cook beetroot with 1 tbsp water just for 2 to 3 mins until tender or soft.
Cool this and puree along with salt, garlic, ginger, pepper and garam masala.
You can also skip the above 2 steps and use grated beetroot to make the dough.
Add the flour to a mixing bowl along with the beetroot puree or gratings.
Mix to make a dough using water as needed.
Next pour oil and knead the dough until smooth and pliable.
If you time you can rest the dough for 30 mins.
How to make beetroot paratha
divide the dough to 6 parts and make smooth balls.
Keep them covered.
Sprinkle little flour on the rolling board.
Flatten a ball and sprinkle little more flour.
Begin to roll to a slightly thick paratha.
Similarly make all the parathas.
Do not leave them for long as they dry up.
Proceed to toast as soon as possible.
Heat a griddle or tawa.
When it is hot enough, transfer the beetroot paratha to the pan.
Very soon you can see bubbles over the paratha, then flip it.
With the help of a spatula press the paratha.
This helps it to puff.
Smear oil or ghee over it and cook until golden to light brown spots appear on them.
Spread a kitchen tissue on a plate and remove the paratha to it.
Similarly toast all the parathas and stack them.
Serve beetroot paratha with chutney, dal or curry.
