Today I tried a healthy sandwich, with beetroot stuffing. And guess what? Everyone in my family enjoyed it in the same way they enjoy other sandwiches , but this time I was much more happy while serving it to the family because I was serving a tasty as well as a healthy dish to my loved one. My choosy daughter showed so much interest in it mainly because of its color.
The exact reason behind preparing this sandwich is something else actually, my father-in-law bought 3 kg’s of beetroot, and I was feeling quite lazy in extracting its juice. So thought of using in different dishes. One comes out well. Bahut baate ho gai friends . I think now I have to focus in its recipe. So follow along with me…
I prepared this sandwich in just a few minutes because it doesn’t require much effort. This sandwich can taste good with any bread, for trial purpose I used both multigrain and white bread.
