After peeling the beetroots, cook them in water until tender. Then grate and grind to form a paste with the water used for cooking. (I used 2 small beetroots which yielded 1/4 cup of pulp).
Now mix together the whole wheat flour, beet pulp, sugar, salt, ghee, sesame seeds with water as required to form a soft dough.
Then preheat the oven to 180 degree centigrade.
Take a ball of dough and roll it to form a thin roti. Prick holes on it evenly using a fork.
Now cut diamond or square shapes.
Place them on a baking tray and bake for 15 minutes, flipping them all once after 8 minutes.
Allow to cool and enjoy these crispy, delicious and healthy bake, totally guilt-free.
