Beet Bonanza

After making Gulabi Paneer, I had beet leaves , stalk and some beet root left...
Cooked 4 dieshes with these.
I wanted to make patras with beet leaves , may be next time..


Beet Leaves with Black Eyed Beans








The above is a poriyal made with black eyed beans. Only difference is to replace
curry leaves with beet leaves

Beet Root with Whole Moong




The above is a poriyal made with whole moong dal and grated beet root.
Cook the moong dal till nearly done. Then mix salt and turmeric to it.
Shallow fry till browned. Then proceed with making the poriyal.


Also made a brinjal curry with the beet stalks , but nothing was left to take pic :-(
