Beetroot, Lentils, Potato Cutlets

Beetroot, also known simply as the beet, has been gaining in popularity as a new super food due to recent studies claiming that beets and beetroot juice can improve athletic performance, lower blood pressure and increase blood flow.  It contains potassium, magnesium, iron, vitamins A, B6 and C, folic acid, carbohydrates, protein, antioxidants and soluble fiber. Since I was asked to increase Hemoglobin in my blood, I had to come up with some healthy yet tasty and interesting recipes. All of a sudden someone posted a healthy beetroot recipe on net and I remembered that my mom used to make similar kind of cutlets when we were young. Also in Pune there is a popular joint called “Vaishali” and their cutlets are to die for, and of course they are my favorite too.
