I am a huge fan of beetroot. Let me start with highlighting beetroot's benefits, which include the following:
- Helps regulate blood pressure
- Improves exercise stamina and muscle power
- Heart friendly food
- Helps you maintain a healthy weight
- May prevent cancer
- Good source of potassium
- Good source of other minerals.
And trust me there are more benefits to count, but I am making sure I keep this one short and to the point.
So, first, the ingredients, again, are good for two portions:
- 500 grams of beetroot
- 32 grams of Corn Flour
- 32 grams of skimmed milk powder
- 160 grams of chopped onions
- 2 cups of water
- 1 tsp of olive oil
- 1 teaspoon of Turmeric
Now, let’s move to the cooking instructions.
Step 1: Wash the beetroot with water.
Step 2: Chop the onions and the beetroots. Boil the beetroots on low heat for 40 to 60 minutes. Then add two cups of water.
On the side, pre-heat the onions with a teaspoon of olive oil for 10-15 minutes on low heat as well.
Step 3: Keep mashing the beetroots while adding them to the onions. Then, add the Corn Flour and Milk Powder.
Step 4: 5 minutes before your dinner, keep stirring the whole mix while boiling it on low heat for 5 to 7 minutes. And then, you’re good to go!
If you are someone who loves spices, adding chili would be a great option.
Lastly, and before we wrap up, here is my favorite part, the macros per one serving:
- Calories: 223
- Carbs: 37 grams
- Fats: 3 grams
- Proteins: 12 grams
Pairing this with a protein and fats source on the side would make the perfect high fiber, high protein dinner!
