Beetroot Stir Fry

This is a simple, easy and healthy dish. Most of the children like this very much. We can have this without having any main dish. Beetroots are rich in minerals, vitamins & fibres.

I used to prepare this dish often in my home especially for my son. He used to have with plain white rice. It does not only look so attractive, also it serves as rich source of nutrients. This goes well with any steamed / fried rice / roti / chapatti.
Ingredients
Chopped Beetroot – 1 cup
Channa Dal – 4 tsp
Sliced Green Chilli – 4
Red Chilli - 1
Mustard Seeds – ½ tsp
Urad Dal – ½ tsp
Grated Coconut – 2 tsp
Fennel Seeds – ½ tsp
Salt
Oil
Method
Soak channa dal for about 10 to 15 min in hot water.

Heat oil in a pan, once it done, adds mustard seeds. When it pops out, add urad dal, red chilli, green chilli, and ginger one by one. And fry for a min.

Then add onion, salt and keep fry until it gets slight brown colour. Now add soaked channa dal. Mix well then add beetroot, and then fry for 3 to 5 min on a low flame.

Now add water as needed and cover the lid and keep cook the beetroot fully.

In a blender add coconut & fennel Seeds, grind it.
