I love beetroot a lot. Mostly make poriyal and have it. I thought I should try something different and already tried making beetroot pulao, so something easy and simple. Found this in my notebook and thought give it a try. It was tasting really good, I felt like having this kothamalli podi rice. Thought this could be a good lunch box recipe you can make it quickly, with simple ingredients. This is a scheduled post as am bit busy, so wont be able to reply to your queries promptly, will get back to you as soon as I read your query.
