Beetroot & Potato stir fry

This is one vegetable of which I think twice before preparing just because of the coloring mess it creates while handling. But, sometimes it worth the mess to satisfy our taste buds :-)

Ingredients

2-3 medium size beetroots
1-2 medium size potato

1 small onion, chopped fine
2-3 green chillies, chopped fine
few curry leaves
1 tsp mustard seeds
1 tsp sambhar powder

1 tbsp cooking oil
salt to taste

coconut, to garnish
cilantro, to garnish

Method
  • Grate the beetroots. Set aside
  • Heat oil in a pan, add mustard seeds. When they splutter, add onions, green chillies & curry leaves. Saute until onions are golden color.
  • Then add chopped potatoes. Add about 1 cup of water & cook with lid closed until potatoes are tender. Add the sambhar masala.
  • Add grated beetroot & salt and cook until beetroot is soft.
  • Serve hot with rotis or rice.
