Beetroot fry recipe | Moong dal beetroot stir fry

By swasthi , on June 2, 2019, 4 Comments, Jump to Recipe

Beetroot stir fry recipe with moong dal – Simple, healthy and delicious beetroot fry with moong dal. This goes well with plain rice, chapati or roti. Beetroot is one of those veggies with very few options to use in Indian cooking. I usually make beetroot chutney, beetroot thoran, poriyal, paratha and sometimes even add them to smoothies or juice.

This beetroot stir fry will be loved by kids due to the addition of moong dal. This also goes well in lunch box with plain rice or chapati. I usually make this for dinner along with rasam and plain rice.

If you have a food processor you can use it to grate the beetroot. I have hand grated it. You can also make small cubes and use here. But it tastes good with the grated beets.

I will update the video and step by step photos shortly.
