Beetroot sevai / Beetroot vermicelli

BEETROOT SEVAI / BEETROOT VERMICELLI

The recipe for vermicelli upma  have many variations and may differ with  different vegetables or spice added to it . Here I have added beetroot . Same recipe can be tried with carrot .

Packed with essential nutrients, beetroots are a great source of fiber, folate (vitamin B9), manganese, potassium, iron, and vitamin C. Beetroots and beetroot juice have been associated with numerous health benefits, including improved blood flow, lower blood pressure, and increased exercise performance.

Nutritionally vermicelli is calorie-dense and high in carbs, fat and cholesterol free low in sodium. A great alternative to other forms of pasta and oats liked by all irrespective of age. Breakfast prepared with vermicelli are incredibly delicious which is also good for toddlers and pregnant women.
