Paratha is always my family's favourite breakfast though I made it once in 15 days. I don't want them to get bored by eating the same food again and again. But this paratha can be served to adults too. Increase the quantity of spices and add whatever you want to add to enhance the taste like green chilli, chat masala, red chilli powder etc.

Pink Paratha means it is made up of beetroot. To enhance the taste I also added carrot because carrot is my babies favourite food. This is my trick - whenever I want to introduce any new food I try to mix them with their favourite food. Chances are they will eat the food. 😇
These recipes can be given to 9 months onwards. Skip salt and red chilli powder for baby below one year old. I am using salt and basic masala for my toddler food because they also eat from our plates. Use a pinch of black pepper and garam masala it enhances the taste and this is the way you introduce masala to your baby.
BEET CARROT PARATHA 🥕🌰
Ingredients:
1/2 boiled and grated beetroot
1/2 boiled and grated carrot
1 TSP crushed kasoori methi
Fistful chopped coriander leaves.
1/4 tsp garam masala
1/4 tsp black pepper powder
Salt as per taste
1 and 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1 tsp malai from milk to knead the flour
Direction:
1. Mix all above ingredients in a whole wheat flour and knead soft dough.
2. Rest it for 15 minutes.
3. Roll out small parathas.
4. Roast it on hot tawa using butter.
5. Your pinkish beetroot paratha is ready. Serve it with curd.
Tips:
If your baby is not ready to eat try to serve in very small portion.
Keep on serving again and again they will definitely going to eat.

I think beets are underrated in our Indian diet though South Indian diet has some great stir-fry options using beet carrots etc.I love this paratha, in fact it adds a nice color, fiber, and nutrition to this paratha. I even add it to carrot hala for extra deep colour and we make an amaranthus beet bhaji which my kids love.
ReplyDeleteWow. Amarnath bhaji with beet I will definitely try.
DeleteBeets are a good source of iron, which is important for healthy blood and brain development in babies. Including beet carrot paratha in their diet can help meet their iron needs.

DeleteIt looks delicious ya. Thanks for the recipe, its really simple to prepare
ReplyDeleteI love beetroot, I can have anything made of beetroot, right from chips to cookies, raita to grated salads, juices and soups. I have given up on whole wheat flour, but I certainly have beetroot pancakes and I love them.
ReplyDeleteI want to try juice 😄
DeleteWow Neeta. Thank you for this healthy and yummilicious recipe. Will surely try it for my kiddos. I normally grate beetroot and add salt, pepper, lemon and eat as a salad.
ReplyDelete💜💜
DeleteI heard that these days we have beetroot flour available in the market. Will it work if I use that flour for the preparation as I would love to try this recipe. Kindly suggest
ReplyDeleteI don't know about flour. You can search whether it is healthy or not .
DeleteMy answer to your question is: I don't like beetroot Neeta😬 and I don't eat it either. I know it is really good for health but the taste n smell is a turn off for me. However, your paratha looks appetising and is a simple recipe too. I will try it. Btw, did I tell u that I tried your palak chilla n my kids loved it? I will let you know what they feel about this too.
ReplyDeleteEven I don't like it Kaveri 😁
DeleteI have made beetroot paratha. Apart from the health part of it, the taste is yummy too. Next time will add carrots too. Children also love it. Easy way to make them eat beetroot :)
ReplyDeletewow!! this recipe is perect to make kids have beetroot. thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteSuper healthy recipe, my kids do not eat beetroot and I think this is a best way to make them eat. Easy recipe but extremely healthy. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteWelcome 💜
DeleteI love beetroot and add it to my salads, soups and even pav bhaji. It's quite nutritious too so parathas are a great way to make our kids have it.
ReplyDeleteI try to salad - curd + beet one.
DeleteMy son is 8 yo now but he still loves beetroot & carrot paratha. But it's not my fav because of that sweetness it gives to the paratha, instead I add boiled potatoes to balance that. But it's a wonderful way to introduce beetroot and carrot to baby's diet.
