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.

And when she enters the bedroom, she sees her husband's towel lying on the bed, his underwear thrown about in their bathroom. She rolls her eyes, sighs and picks it up to put in the laundry bag.
Vasudha, age 28 – is an excellent dancer, writer, podcaster and a mandala artist. She is talented young woman, a go getter and wouldn’t bat an eyelid if she had to try anything new. She would go head on with it. Everyone knew Vasudha as this cheerful and pretty young lady.
Except when marriage changed everything she knew. Since she was always outdoors, whether for office or for travelling for her dance shows, Vasudha didn’t know how to cook well.
