Beetroot chutney

 

A great way to sneak in the goodness of beets into your first meal of the day!

Ingredients to grind:

1 large beet, peeled, sliced and boiled(reserve the water)

1/2” ginger

1 cup grated coconut 

1/2 cup roasted gram daal

2-3 green chilies 

1/2 tsp pepper

Salt

Ingredients for tempering:

1 tsp ghee

1/4 tsp mustard seeds

1/4 tsp cumin seeds

1 red chili 

Grind all the ingredients listed above to a smooth paste. You can use some of  the reserved water that was used to boil the beet to grind the chutney to a smooth paste. 

Heat the ghee for tempering, add the spices. Once the mustard seeds splutter add this to the ground chutney. Mix and serve with idlis... or have it as a side to your meal.
