    Beetroot Paratha Recipe - This is the stuffed version where stuffing mixture is made from grated beetroot, boiled, mashed potatoes and some spices.

    There is another version of making beetroot paratha where raw finely grated or boiled, pureed beetroot is added directly into the flour to make the dough. This type has less taste of beetroot vs stuffed version.

    Beetroot has many health benefits so we do include in our diet by making beetroot raita, beetroot rice, beetroot roti or this paratha. and many times, we eat it raw as a salad. We also like to enjoy beetroot leaves in dal and sabzi.

    As you know that beetroot has slight sweetness to it. So to mellow down the sweet taste I have added some boiled potatoes. Also the addition of amchur powder balances the sweet and sour taste in the stuffing.

    14) After the resting time, knead the dough once again to smooth out. Then divide it into 10 equal portions as well. Make smooth balls and flatten between your palm to make disc.

    21) Once you have few parathas ready, heat the tawa or pan on medium heat. Once hot place the rolled paratha and cook for few seconds.

    22) When you notice the bubbles on top, flip it and cook other side for few seconds. Meantime drizzle oil on the top surface.

    23) Flip and press lightly using spatula, if rolled properly it will puff up. Cook till bottom part has few brown spots and no more raw doughy part appear.

    24) Now apply oil on top side and flip again.

    25) Similarly cook other side by pressing with spatula.

    26) When you see the other side also has brown spots, that time paratha is ready and remove it from the tawa and serve right away or keep in insulated container. Repeat the same for rest.

    Serving suggestion: Serve beetroot paratha as a breakfast or dinner meal with bowl of plain yogurt or raita (onion tomato raita, onion raita, cucumber raita) or pickle. This can be packed into kids or adult’s lunchbox.
