I always look for ways to improve the nutrient quality of my Chapatti/Roti/Paratha/Puri- aka Indian flat bread.
This time I decided to color it pink ! and what can be a better ingredient other than BEET ROOT !
Can you believe beets belong to spinach family ?
Beets are rich in calcium, iron, folic acid and essential amino acid, called glutamine.
Beets are also known for its ergogenic property. Ergogenic foods are those which enhance the physical performance and stamina. Its a ideal food to consume before any sporting activity. Take a shot of beet juice and be sure to touch the finish line in no time :)
A work of caution - OXALATES. Yes, it is also high in oxalate. Not good for your kidneys. So as any other food, consume in moderation.
Coming to the recipe:
Beets - Boil/steam/ or just keep it raw - 3 medium
Whole wheat flour - 2 cups
Water - as required
Puree beets and combine with flour and make a soft dough by adding water as required.
Voila ! enjoy bread prepared from this pink beauty.
