I got this recipe from my friend Bharathi. When she told me about this, I was not very sure. Because I never liked beetroot in a gravy form. But when I made it, it turned out very good. Me & My Husband loves this with evening Roties.

Ingredients:

• Beetroot – 1 Cut into small pieces
• Chanadal – 1/2 Cup
• Tomato – 1 small, cut into small pieces
• Onion – 1
• Green chillies – 4
• Turmeric – 1/4 Spoon
• Cilantro – 1/4 cup
• Oil & Salt
• Hing – 1 Pinch

For Gravy:

• Green Chillies – 5
• Cashew Nut – 6
• Coconut raw – Handful
• Fennel seeds – 8

Grind the above for gravy and keep it aside.

Method:

1. Cut the Beetroot into small pieces, put that in a pressure cooker with chana dal and water, let it cook for 2 whistles
2. Once the pressure is off in the cooker, add  the gravy stuff to it and let it cook.
3. In a pan put some oil and add pinch of hing, onion, green chillies and then the tomato, salt and turmeric and let it fry.
4. Add this stuff to the cooker and mix it very well and let it cook for few more minutes(5 minutes)
5. Add cilantro to this mix.

Tip: Serve this with Roties.
