Beetroot Palya

Lot of people i know are not such big fans of beetroot, I think it is the color that puts them off. I like beetroot though, it is not my favorite vegetable but i can eat it once in a while. Well today we will be making beetroot palya. It is a very simple recipe to make and tastes good with chappati or rice. So here goes.




Ingredients
3 large beetroot(peeled and grated)
1 small onion chopped
3 green chillies slit in the center(add according to taste)
curry leaves a few
jeera 1 tsp
roasted peanut 3 tbsp






Take oil in a pan. Add jeera, curry leaves,chillies,onions and fry for a while. Fry for sometime till the onions turn brown. Now add the grated beetroot, salt and mix well. Let this cook for a while do not add water. Coarsly grind the peanuts and garnish on top of the beetroot. Enjoy!!!!

    Hi Sangeetha,
    your dal fry and beetroot curry is an excellent combo. I usually add little bit of coconut gratings at the end. But your version of adding coarse peanut powder is little different. May be it is a Maharastrian style. I will definetly give it a try.

    You are doing a Good Job of introducing and posting the recipes. Keep up your
    Good work!
