This beetroot tikki recipe gives you a tasty and very healthy snack, that could make sure your kids eat this otherwise disliked vegetable!
This is a very easy-to-make, healthy and colourful appetizer beetroot tikki recipe that you can enjoy guilt free. These tikkis or say mini tikkis are prepared from grated beetroot and sweet potato.
So here is a minor twist in the beetroot tikki recipe. We have avoided using potatoes for binding and used sweet potatoes instead. Sweet potatoes are rich in iron, fibre and vitamins A and C. Plus we have added nuts for the crunchy taste. We have shaped these tikkis a bit smaller to serve them as an appetizer.
If you or someone in your family does not like the taste of beetroot, we would suggest you start with ½ beetroot and add 2-3 sweet potatoes in this beetroot tikki recipe. In this manner, you can gradually develop a taste for the healthy vegetable and then enjoy these tikkis or any other beetroot recipe.
Boiled or cooked beetroot, added to any dish, makes the dish colourful and healthy. Boiled or cooked beetroot tastes better as compared to raw beetroot.
You can use these tikkis for making burger or simply serve them as an appetizer or tea time snack along with green chutney.

Instructions:
In a mixer/grinder, combine cashews and almonds and coarsely crush them.

Now add grated ginger and all the spice powders – coriander powder, cumin powder, garam masala powder, chaat masala and salt and saute for about a minute.
Then add mashed sweet potato and mix everything well.
In the end add coarsely crushed nuts and raisins. Mix well.
Remove the mixture from flame and leave it to cool.
Pre-heat oven at 180 degrees.
Divide the mixture into equal portions and shape into small tikkis.
Arrange in a baking tray.
Bake in a preheated oven for 10-15 minutes until the tikkis turn crisp.
Serve these beetroot tikkis hot as an appetizer or tea time snack along with green chutney.

UP Boards Topper Prachi Nigam was trolled on social media for her facial hair; our obsession with appearance is harsh on young minds.
Prachi Nigam’s photo has been doing the rounds on social media for the right reasons. Well, scratch that- I wish the above statement were true. This 15-year-old girl should ideally be revelling in her spectacular achievement of scoring a whopping 98.05% and topping her tenth-grade boards. But oddly enough, along with her marks, it’s something else that garners more attention – her facial hair.
While the trolls are driving themselves giddy by mocking this girl who hasn’t even completed her school yet, the ones who are taking her side are going one step ahead – they are sharing her photoshopped pictures, sans the facial hair, looking nothing less than a celebrity with captions saying – “Prachi Nigam, ten years later”.
Doctors have already diagnosed her with PCOD in their comments, based on photographic evidence. While we have names for people shamed for their weight – body shaming, for their skin colour- racism, for their age- age shaming, for being a female- sexism, this category of shaming where one faces criticism for their appearance has no name. With that, it also has zero shame attached to it.
