BEETROOT PORIYAL

Ingredients:

beetroot - 1 cup (grated)

red chillies - 2 - 3

salt to taste

mustard seeds - 1 tsp

urad dal - 1/2 tsp

oil - 2 tsp

onion - 1 (chopped)

curry leaves - 10 - 15

Method:

- in a pan add oil

- add mustard seeds and urad dal

- when the dal changes colour add the red chillies and onions and fry till golden colour

- add the beetroot and salt

- fry till they are half cooked

- add curry leaves and sprinkle some water and close the pan with a lid

- then when the moisture is completely gone remove from fire and serve as a side dish.

Note:

- I have used dried red chillies instead of green chillies. But the recipe calls for green chillies and the taste will be better. As Iam not supposed to eat green chillies I have not used them.
