Beetroot curry

Beetroot is considered to be a “super food”. It is rich in vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and folate. It reduces anemia and blood pressure and improves hemoglobin count. Different  dishes can be prepared with beetroot starting from salad to payasam. Here, I am giving a simple beetroot curry which can be had with roti and rice.
