Beetroot poriyal

Serves -3

This is one of my favourite poriyal its sweet nature and colour is gorgeous.Of course healthy too.

Ingredients:

• Beetroot -2 medium size
• Coconut -Less than 1/4 cup
• Water -1 cup
• Salt -To taste
• Sugar -1/4 tsp

To temper:

• Oil -1 tsp
• Urad dhal -1/4 tsp
• Red chilli -1
• Asafoetida -Few pinches

Method:

• Cut beetroot and pressure cook it with little water(mostly not needed).
• In a pan temper it with items given under 'to temper'.
• Add the cooked beetroot,salt and sugar.Mix well.
• Finally add coconut scrapings and turn off the gas.

Notes:

• This is a quick version.You can avoid pressure cooking and directly add chopped beetroot and cook.
• You can avoid coconut.But it gives good taste and look.
