Beetroot has a lot of benefits and it is rich in folic acid, fiber, vitamins. My kids love beetroot. That too my elder daughter Chinti, she eats raw beetroot :-) This idli is super cool recipe and it is just add the grounded beetroot to the regular Idli Battter. The color of this idli will tempt the kids and they will just grab the idlies like anything. Also it is very healthy and that too in our breakfast adding vegetables is good right!?
