Amla and Beet Patties


   Today I am giving to you a fantastic and delicious recipe is amla and beet patties. Beetroot helps in reducing blood pressure, bad cholesterol and is low in calories. Apart from that it is also a very good source of vitamin C, iron, magnesium and dietary fiber. Definitely kids love to eat these lovely and soft patties.This recipe is ideal for kids who don't like to eat beet root curry. My housband is fond of beet patties. I saw this recipe in food magazine.These beet patties pair well with bread or burger or indian pav. You can use grated raw mango instead of amla. I hope you like it too............Happy cooking..............

Salt to taste


Method of preparation:
