Beetroot Poriyal

Print Recipe
I love the sweetness of beetroot and it brings out such lovely colour to the dish. Beetroot is very healthy especially if you want to develop some immunity and stamina. I have also added carrots and chickpeas just the way my mother makes it. Try this healthy dish and I’m sure your family will love it. You can serve this stir fry with some rasam, sambar and steamed rice.

    What a great recipe, Loaded with health. I believe beetroot should be eaten often during the week because of the health benefits it provides. I must make this as soon as possivle

    I love the red of the beet root, just adds such a dimension to cooking when using beet root. And always surprised how some just won't try or afraid it will be like a pickle, which of course it isn't unless it is a pickled beet.
    Thanks for sharing, look forward to trying.
