Amla Beetroot Tikki - Healthy Summer Recipe!

Amla and beetroot are two amazing ingredients that offer a range of benefits, especially during the summers. Let's dive into the goodness of these two power-packed ingredients:

Amla, also known as Indian gooseberry, is a rich source of vitamin C, which helps boost immunity and fight off infections. It also acts as a natural coolant, keeping you refreshed and hydrated during the hot summer months. Amla is known to improve digestion, promote healthy skin, and even enhance hair health. It's a versatile ingredient that can be consumed in various forms like juice, pickle, or even added to salads and smoothies.

Beetroot, on the other hand, is a vibrant root vegetable that is packed with essential nutrients. It contains high levels of antioxidants, which help protect against oxidative stress and inflammation. Beetroot is also known for its detoxifying properties, helping to cleanse the body and support liver function. Additionally, it's a great source of dietary fiber, which aids in digestion and keeps you feeling full for longer. The natural nitrates found in beetroot can help improve blood flow and lower blood pressure. Do try the Beetroot Pav Bhaji or Beetroot Cutlets to incorporate nutrients to your meals.

Combining amla and beetroot in your summer diet can be a fantastic way to reap the benefits of both ingredients. You can enjoy them in the form of refreshing cold-pressed juices, smoothies, or even incorporate them into salads for a burst of flavor and nutrition.
