Beetroot Roti

Beetroot is all time favourite vegetable for my grand daughter. So I often use beetroot in my cooking. Instead of doing usual poriyal with Beetroot, I used to make halwa, thugayal and salad. Yesterday, I made roti using beetroot and the taste is awesome.

Beetroot Roti

1. Wash and peel the beetroot and grate it. To the grated beetroot add coriander powder, salt, red chilli powder and mix well and keep it aside for 10 minutes

2. After 10 minutes, add wheat flour and mix well 

3. Knead it to a nice soft dough. The water content in beetroot after adding salt is enough to knead the dough. Sprinkle water only if needed. Keep the dough aside for 10 minutes

4. Make medium sized balls out of the dough and roll it to a thin circle by dusting some wheat flour to roll it

5. Heat the thawa and place the roti over thawa.

6. After roti start change its color to slight brown and start puffing in different places flip the roti over.
7. Flip again after a few seconds. Take a flat spatula and press lightly on the puffed parts of the roti. This will help the roti puff.
8. Flip the roti again. The roti should have light golden-brown spots on both sides.
9. Butter the roti, the side that is facing the skillet.
10. Keep the rotis in a container with a paper towel covering the bottom. Serve the yummy beetroot roti with subji.
