BEETROOT PORIYAL

This is my favourite way of eating this vegetable. It’s a very South Indian preparation. It’s usually a side dish when we make sambar or rasam and rice……………..and some applams for a bit of crunch in every bite………and that’s how we do it here! Yep I’m very South Indian like that. So this is my recipe for today under everyday lunch/dinner theme.
Just check out the recipe below…..now ain’t that easy? It takes a good 20 minutes including the cutting and cooking. A dish full of goodness!

INGREDIENTS:

oil – 3 tbsps
mustard seeds – 1 tsp
urad dal – 2 tsps
curry leaves – 1 stem
onion, sliced – 1 small
green chili, slit – 2
beetroot, grated – 1 big (500 g)
salt to taste
PROCESS;
  • In a wok, heat the oil and and then add the mustard seeds.
  • Once it starts popping, add the urad dal and curry leaves.
  • Add the onions and green chilies.
  • When the onions have cooked and become soft and transparent, add the beetroot.
  • Add salt and cook till the beetroot has cooked through. It cooks fast since its grated.
