Instructions
 

  • Firstly peel the skin of beetroots, wash and chop them into 2-inch pieces. Next, add them into a pan with some water.
    Cover and cook for 5-6 minutes and turn off the stove. Once cooled, puree them in a blender without water.

  • In a bowl, add wheat flour, pureed beetroot, coriander leaves, mint(pudina) leaves, ajwain, turmeric powder, red chili powder, garam masala, amchur powder, oil, and salt. Mix well.
  • Add very little water and make a smooth (but not sticky) dough. Smear little oil on the dough and let it rest for at-least 10-15 mins.

  • Make balls from the dough. I was able to get six balls.
  • Roll the parathas to 3-inch diameter using a chapati roller. Then spread little oil or ghee on it using a spoon.

  • Fold from one side (from top) then the other side covering the previous fold (from bottom).
    Again spread oil and sprinkle some wheat flour. Again fold from left and then right. It should look like a square. Then roll it to a slightly thick square-shaped paratha.

  • Heat a tawa/skillet on medium heat and place the paratha and let it cook. Once you see bubbles, flip onto the other side drizzle some ghee or oil on top.
    Flip again and drizzle oil or ghee on the other side until they have nice golden spots on both sides.

  • Serve Beetroot Paratha with curd, pickle, raita.

Notes

Tips & Variations

  1. Grated Beetroot: You can even use grated beetroot to make these parathas if you don't have time to boil and puree them.
  2. Protein: You can add ½ cup of paneer or tofu while making beetroot puree to increase the protein intake for kids or adults.
  3. Spices: This paratha is a bit sweet because of beetroot, so adjust the seasonings accordingly to make it spicy.
  4. Green leafy Vegetables: You can add green leafy vegetables like finely chopped spinach, kale, or methi (fenugreek leaves) to make them healthier.
  5. Beet Chapati: You can make beetroot chapati or roti by mixing wheat flour, beetroot puree, and salt into a dough.

SNACK – Yogurt

SNACK – Pear – I have sliced the peach and packed it into the box. Always try to use local and seasonal fruits.

Prep Work For The Previous Evening

  1. You can boil and puree beetroot the previous night and refrigerate. You can also prepare the beetroot paratha dough the previous night if you are busy the next morning.

Notes

  • Packed in a stainless steel tiffin box called Lunchbots which is Eco-Friendly, Dishwasher Safe, BPA-Free and is easily available on Amazon. Do not use plastic lunch boxes to your kids, they are toxic.
  • You can increase or decrease quantity based on your child’s appetite.

    We have the same lunchbox for our kids. What are you using to pack the yogurt? Does it not spill?

      Hi Smriti, I use small condiment containers for storing yogurt. It doesnt spoil, I either use homemade yogurt or greek yogurt. You can also add some milk n mix it. That ways it doesnt get sour. Hope this helps.
