Beetroot Thuvayal-Bachelors Recipe

 

 

       Beetroot is one veggie which everyone from kids to elder people hate and cry to have including me.Till now I don’t know the reason behind it, in spite of having more health benefits.But this thuvayal is really tasty and delicious.When I heard this recipe from my cousin I was having doubt about the taste but after preparing the thuvayal I tasted immediately and started liking it and made a note that next time whenever im buying beetroot I will surely do this thuvayal,as its not only tasty and also very simple to prepare.I can rather say that this is perfect for the bachelors.So thought of sharing the recipe with you.

Beetroot	1 1/4 cup(grated)
Grated coconut	3 tbsp
Tamarind pulp	1 tbsp(thick)
Cilantro	1 fistfull

Tofu Paratha

           Its been a week time was not able to access internet or phone as we have moved to a new home and was totally busy with shifting work.Now only some how got settled and finally had time to post the recipe.After trying the  Avocado Paratha I thought of trying tofu paratha in the same manner and turned out nice and I found it a easy way to use tofu as I don’t like using tofu in any gravies as it is having a blend taste.So thought of sharing this tofu paratha.

 

 

Ingredients :

Wheat flour	1 1/2 cups
Tofu	200gm
Dhania powder	1 tsp
Red chillie powder	3/4th tsp
Turmeric powder	1/4 tsp
Salt	Req
Garam masala	1/2 tsp

Method :

1.Remove the water content from the tofu and scrammble the tofu with your hands.

2. Add the tofu in the atta flour.

3. Now add the dry powders and start mixing with your hands.No need to knead the dough tightly.

4.Prepare like the usual roti batter.

5. Spread like the routine paratha/roti type and cook on the tawa.

6. Serve with any kind of gravies or raita.I served with rajma masal.

 

Notes :

1. If required use very less water.

2. No need the remove entire water from tofu.Let 10% of water be in tofu as we knead the batter it will be helpful.

3. You can add or remove any dry ingredients as per the taste.
