Beetroot mezhukkupuratti

The deep pink beetroot :D :D Mix it with anything and everything turns a dark pink. Nice color to have on plate

What I used

1. 2-3 beetroots cut into small cubes
2. Finely diced onion: 1
3. Green chili: 1
4. Mustard seeds:  1/2 teaspoon (optional)
5. Salt: to taste
6. Oil: 2-3 tablespoons
7. Curry leaves: 1 sprig (optional)

How I made it 

1. In a pan, heat oil and splutter mustard seeds (if using) and saute the onions well with chili, adding required amount of salt
2. Then add curry leaves if you like
3. Once you get the aroma of curry leaves, add the diced beetroot and mix well, ensuring  the contents are fully coated with oil
4. Cover the pan and allow it to cook on low flame with occasional mixing of contents till the beets are soft 

This makes a good combination with brown rice and chappathi
