Beetroot


This is an easy and healthy recipe. I personally am not a huge fan of beetroots but it's really good for people who are anaemic (having a low Hb count, like me), So I make it for health reasons. Surprisingly the end product tastes pretty good. ^_^

Ingredients :

  • Beetroot - 2 medium sized (cut into small pieces)
  • Potato- 1 big (cut into small pieces)
  • Frozen green peas- 100 grams
  • Green chillies- 2-3
  • 1 tsp of cumin seeds
  • 1 pinch of hing (asafoetida)
  • Garlic- 9-12 pods (finely chopped)
  • 1 tsp of red chilli powder
  • 1/2 tsp of garam masala powder
  • 1 Tsp of ghee for cooking

Procedure:

Take some ghee (clarified butter) in a nonstick pan. When its heated add the cumin seeds, when it starts spluttering add the asafoetida and green chilly. Then add the chopped garlic. When it starts to get little brown add the beets and potatoes. Cook it in medium flame adding the chilli powder. Cover the pan and cook it for almost half an hour  in low flame. If required you can add 2-3 tsp of water if the veggies seem too dry. Now open the lid and with the ladle feel the veggies. It should be properly boiled and should also be a little crunchy. (don't overcook it). Before turning off the flame add garam masala and mix it properly. Give 16 min standing time before serving. Sprinkle little coriander leaves from the top before serving. 

~ENJOY~
