BEETROOT FRY

Beetroot is one of my favourite dish. Especially i love to drink beetroot juice. I was not very good at making beetroot fry, i use to chop it in small pieces and do, but never would come out well. When you grate the beetroot and use it in this receipe , it really works out and also cooks faster in its own steam. This way it is quick to make. I got this receipe from my friend Jaya.
Beetroot is one of the healthiest vegetable which can be eaten raw, cooked or in form of juice. It is best known as blood purifier. It is a natural source of Vitamin C, calcium, iron. It helps building blood in body. It has many more healthy benefits to be included in our regular diet. Hope you all will enjoy this receipe.
