Notes

You can use canned chickpeas for this recipe.
You can also make this recipe with leftover chickpeas.
Boil and roast beetroot in advance and keep it in the fridge.
You can roast beetroot in an oven for 20 minutes. But my version is very quick.
You can add little water while blending for a smooth consistency.
