    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.

    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.
