BEET ROOT PARATHA

Beet root paratha is very easy to make and tasty too.  Beet root can help in reducing blood pressure, risk of heart attacks, strokes, osteoporosis, stabilises blood sugar as per the research. Treats anemia and fatigue, helps slow progression of  dementia.

As far as I am concerned about this vegetable, I love this to eat raw,boiled and sliced sprinkled with little chaat masala or in sandwich etc.  The beet root subzi  along with curd rice is another favourite of mine.
