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.

Neena was the sole caregiver of Amma and though one would think that Amma was dependent on her, Neena felt otherwise.
Neena inhaled the aroma that emanated from the pan and took a deep breath. The aroma of cumin interspersed with butter transported her back to the modest kitchen in her native village. She could picture her father standing in the kitchen wearing his white crisp kurta as he made delectable concoctions for his only daughter.
Neena grew up in a home where both her parents worked together in tandem to keep the house up and running. She had a blissful childhood in her modest two-room house. The house was small but every nook and cranny gave her memories of a lifetime. Neena’s young heart imagined that her life would follow the same cheerful course. But how wrong she was!
When she was sixteen, the catastrophic clutches of destiny snatched away her parents. They passed away in a road accident and Neena was devastated. Relatives thronged her now gloomy house and soon it was decided that she should be married off.
Menopause is a reality in women's lives, so Indian workplaces need to gear up and address women's menopausal needs.
Picture this: A seasoned executive at the peak of her career suddenly grapples with hot flashes and sleep disturbances during important meetings. She also battles mood swings and cognitive changes, affecting her productivity and confidence. Eventually, she resigns from her job.
Fiction? Not really. The scenario above is a reality many women face as they navigate menopause while meeting their work responsibilities.
Menopause is the time when a woman stops menstruating. This natural condition marks the end of a woman’s reproductive years. The transition brings unique physical, emotional, and psychological changes for women.
