Its very easy and healthy to make and eat, all you have to do is:
Take 3 Beetroots of desired size, peel them and pressure cook them with some water up to 5 whistles.
Once done, cut them into small peices, and in a pan take 3 teaspoon of oil, when the oil gets warm, add mustard, jeera, urad daal, and chana daal, and add the small pieces of Beetroot and close the pan.
In a Mixer jar, take dry grated coconut, couple of Garlic cloves, salt and chillie powerd and grind them to a good mixture.
Keep mixing the Beetroots now and then, and once they get cooked, add this above mixture and eat it with rice or Chapati.
Njoy!
