Beetroot Rice

Ingredients: (For serving 2)
Beetroot - 100g
Onion (Big) - 1
ginger-garlic paste - 1 table spoon
salt to taste
red chillie powder as per taste
jeera - 1 tp
oil - 1 table spoon
Ghee - 1/2 table spoon

Method:
Heat oil and ghee and add jeera (this will give a nice flavour and kids will like it)(to it nuts can be added which is optional). Now add onions to it and cook it till it turns light golden brown. Now add the ginger garlic paste to it and cook for some time until and raw smell go off. Then add the flaked beetroot to it and cook it on low flame by adding little water to it and closing it with a lid. After 5 minutes the beetroot gets cooked and now add salt and chilli powder to your taste.
Now you can mix the beetroot with precooked rice (the rice should be 3/4 cooked and should not be sticky) and steam it in the pressure cooker for 2 minutes. Now the food is ready for packing.
