Beet Root Juice

Beetroot Juice in Marathi

Time: 15 minutes
Serves: 2 persons

Ingredients:
1 Beet, medium
1 tomato, medium
1 carrot, medium
1/4 cup water
1/4 tsp Cumin powder
Salt and sugar to taste
1 tsp lemon juice (Optional)

Method:
1) Pressure cook Beetroot and carrot upto 1 whistle (tip 1). Cut the beetroot and carrot into medium chunks. Also dice the tomato.
2) Put the beetroot, carrot and tomato into a grinder. Grind to a fine paste. Add little water only if required.
3) Strain the mixture through a cheesecloth-lined mesh strainer. Squeeze and remove all the juice out.
4) Add cumin powder and salt. Stir and taste the juice. Now add sugar and lemon juice (tip 2).

Tips:
1) Beetroot can be used raw, without steam cooking.
2) You may not need to add sugar as Beetroot has its own sweetness. If tomato has enough sour taste, then there might be no need of lemon juice too.
