Beetroot Dhokla

Today is one more dhokla recipe but I gave a small twist to a traditional dhokla recipe. That is a healthy twist to a healthy recipe. I wanted to make Nylon dhokla for my second post. When I was making nylon dhokla for today breakfast, I got this idea of mixing some vegetables to the batter. First I thought of mixing carrot and beans. I was not much happy with that. 
                                                                  From last two months I made habit of having beet juice with my breakfast. Because beetroot is good for controlling blood pressure. I make my beet juice with orange or lemon or with any citrus fruits. When I mix my beet juice with milk that turn in to a beautiful pink color. Then I got this idea and mixed some beetroot pure with dhokla batter. But the color is little different then my beetroot milk shake. The taste was so yummm, green chutney is the best combination for this healthy dhokla

Some Important notes:--
You can make this beetroot dhokla with khatta dhokla batter.
If you are making this with nylon dhokla batter they lightly dry roast samolina before using this gives a better texture.
You can increase beetroot pure as you like  
Can cook and make a paste with beetroot but I think it is not  good to cook that beautiful vegetable  many times. Any way we are cooking the pure with dhokla batter so That is enough I think.
