This is an authentic side-dish prepared with beetroots. I prepare this stir fry often in my house and is one of the favorite veggie of my kids. The vibrant purple color of the dish is not only attractive, also it serves as a rich source of potent anti-oxidants and healthy nutrients.
It makes an excellent combo with any kind of  South  Indian  rice  varieties.
