Beetroot is an excellent source of folate,manganese and iron.Needless to say it is necessary for kids/children.Having it by just boiling or in salads is not that tasty, many adults don't like it ! Least expect your kids to have it :p So here is one yummy jam which kids would love and assure mothers too :)
Ingredients - beetroot(1) sugar milk(1/4 cup) water for boiling
Method - Wash the beetroot well and boil it till soft. Peel off the skin and grate it. Heat a non-stick pan. Add some ghee and put in the grated beet. Fry for about a min, then add sugar and milk. Adjust the sugar as per your taste. The milk quantity can be reduced.I added a bit more since it was for my toddler. Keep it on the flame till you get a desired jam consistency. Yummy beetroot jam is ready :)

This recipe is one way to include all the veggies in your diet.Also it is a nice variation to the normal roti/chapati that you have.Try it out for a change and am sure you would love to have it again. :) Ingredients - potato(1 medium) carrot beans capsicum fresh coriander leaves red chilly powder salt cumin/jeera powder caraway seeds/ajwain oil ghee or butter whole wheat flour/atta
Method - Wash and boil the potato till soft. Grate the carrot finely. Chop all the veggies finely - capsicum,beans and coriander leaves. You can add any vegetables you like. Take a bowl and mix all the veggies together. Add salt,red chilly powder,jeera powder,ajwain and mix. Now add the atta into this mix little by little. Add few tspns of oil in between. Go on adding the flour as much as it goes. The dough should be like a chapati dough. Let it stand for half an hour. With the help of a rolling pin roll the parathas. Heat a non-stick tawa. Fry the parathas on both sides with ghee/butter. Serve the hot parathas with any sabzi/curd/ketchup :)
