This recipe is quite easy. It is a kids-friendly recipe, mainly because, all the ingredients are mashed up and mixed with rice . My son always try to discover chopped veggies and onions in the food and make it as a reason to avoid eating the food. But in this beetroot rice, I made a puree of beetroot with onion,tomato,garlic,green chilli and ginger and mixed with rice. Hence there is no way that kids can find any chopped veggies. This is an ideal recipe for lunch box packing.
