Spinach and Beetroot Sticks are a form of Nimki or Namak para with a healthier version. Nimki or Namak para is a traditional tea time savoury snack made from Plain flour. Giving a twist to the traditional nimki, I have added spinach and beet root to the flour. Spinach and beetroot add a lot of fiber, texture and colour to these Nimkis and make them healthier.
