This is a very simple dish which goes very well with rice.We even use it along with chapati too.I love vegetables as much as i love meat.When it comes to food i eat almost anything and everything unless it is forbidden:).and beetroot tops my favourite list of vegetables.I don't think i have to mention the nutritional benefits of this wonderful creation of God:) here again as you all are well aware of it already
