Ingredients

  

• 1.5 Beet Root

• 1 Green Chili Pepper (மிளகாய்)
• ¼ tsp Mustard Seeds (கடுகு)

• Lemon Juice (எலுமிச்சை சாறு)
• Curry Leaves (கறிவேப்பிலை)

Instructions

 

• Cut the beet root into thin slices.
  
• Slice the onion and green chili pepper. Remove the seeds from the pepper to reduce spice.
  
• Cook the onions with fennel, mustard seeds, and curry leaves in a pot with some oil.
  
• Once the onions are golden in color, add the green chili pepper, beet root, and salt.
  
• Cook the beet root on a low flame with the lid covered. Occasionally stir to prevent burning on the bottom.
• Once the beet root is soft, it is done cooking. Squeeze some lemon juice and mix directly before serving.
