Beetroot Poriyal, a simple and easy to make accompaniment with beetroot. In our home, we usually make beetroot poriyal with the grated beetroot and call it as "Beetroot Puttu" and if you're interested , check out the beetroot puttu recipe here.
But for a very long time, i wanted to make the restaurant style beetroot poriyal which is usually served as accompaniment for the typical South Indian meal menu. A few months back only i had tried it for the first time and we really liked it , so now it becomes the regular accompaniment for our lunch.
Haven't tried anything special for this poriyal, simply make it as how i normally make the other poriyal, but cutting the beetroot into small cubes really helps to blends the flavour very well. Now let's checkout how to make this beetroot poriyal.
