Beetroot Tikki
Not liking Beetroot??!!! No worries… I’ve got a great option for you to include this powerful antioxidant in your food. I had a can of beetroot sitting idle in my freeze for a few days, so thought to try making something pinky in my kitchen… Yet, my intention was to keep the taste of beetroot over-powering in anything I make.
You might make faces if you’re not a beetroot-fan, I’m sure… but believe me, pink beetroot stains on apron are worth-to-have if you’re trying this yummy ‘n’ healthy appetizer!!! :)
