Beetroot Pita Pockets
Advertisement
This recipe is my take on chholle and kulcha gave it an international flavour and look which makes it a complete meal by itself Also an excellent method to incorporate beetroot into your regular food .Also instead of regular hummus whole chick peas and all other ingredients that goes in the making of hummus makes my pita pocket filling.
It was an extremely delightful recipe for me to make.
Pardon me for not having many pics of the same stepwise as I made it long time back.
