Beetroot Chapati / Beetroot Paratha

My Mom used to make many unique dishes which I relished. After marriage, I had forgotten some of these recipes. But Gayatri's Cookspot - Walk through the Memory Lane had invoked my old memories. This recipe is one of my favourites of my mom's.

Ingredients:

Wheat Flour	1 cup
Beetroot	1
Onion	2
Red Chilly	5
Ginger	1 inch
Garlic	4
Oil	3 tbs
Salt	To Taste

Procedure:

1. Mix water and flour and knead it to make a soft dough. Leave the dough for about half an hour.

2. Chop the onion into small  pieces.

3. Peel the skin of the beetroot and grate it. Keep it aside.

4. Heat 1 tbs of oil in a pan,  add red chillies and chopped onion. Fry till the onion becomes golden color.

5. Then add the chopped ginger and garlic. Fry for 2 mins.Transfer it into bowl and allow it to cool down. Then grind them into fine paste.

6. Heat 1 tbs of oil in the same pan, add grated beetroot and fry till raw smell goes out.

7. Now add the ground paste and mix well. Fry till the water evaporates.
