making simply fries like this preserves the taste, flavor and nutrients in veggies I feel :-)... good one...
Thats a simple dish. Looks so colorful!
Try adding the same to rice too... It will be yum!
lovely looking dish packed with nutrients. I usually make beets fry without boiling them....ofcourse cutting them is pretty painful this way but I think it's worth :)
This is one of my favorite fry, i pressure cook it as whole without even peeling off, that way it is easier to peel and chop. Looks s delicious.
Too good, one of my fav' vegetable...I like to get my hands pink, he he.
I'm slowly getting my husband to liking this too. I don't love beet curry (find it too sweet) but it's growing on me.
So colourful and simple....
This is so healthy and I love the colour :)
