Beet Root Dough - A splash of pink in your bread !
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 c alcium, 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...
