Besides, it’s a great way to mix veggies and turn it into a healthy snack. Similar to what I did last time with beetroots and arugula.

 

  I developed love for beetroots at a much later stage in life when it became my routine diet for nearly six months. I was severely anemic and beetroots certainly did save me besides the medicines and other food. Not that it’s my favorite but I sure do adore the pink shade it adds. Plus, I find beetroots super photogenic. I have lost count for number of beetroot photos that I have captured till date. It’s such a pretty subject to shoot.  

 

  These patties are super simple to create and although I served it as a snack, if shaped in bigger size, they can very well be used in a veggie burger. There is the sweetness from beetroots, the right amount of peppery flavor from fresh arugula and the crunchy texture from quinoa. Just pour a cup of tea/coffee, snug up in the couch with a book or turn on your favorite TV channel and enjoy these while they’re still warm.  

  A tiny pinch of chaat masala at the end adds the smack that my husband is extremely fond off when it comes to patties/fritters. It’s however not a necessity. A few squeezes of lemon or lime would work too.
