Bhaji recipe with no color

How to make Healthy Pav Bhaji with Beetroot for kids- Pav bhaji is a delicious street food, which can be made healthy and you can sneak even the most un-favoured of vegetables in this. The bhaji, that you get outside, is usually laden with sub-standard butter/oil and food colors and god-knows what spices. It is very easy to make and does not take a lot of time. I add all kinds of vegetables like pumpkins, brinjal, beet roots etc.
