Beetroot poriyal recipe with step by step pictures 


                Beetroot poriyal is a sidedish recipe for vegetarian meal.  Beetroot is liked by kids very much as it has sweet taste of its own.  This beetroot poriyal is my everyday recipe.  I often make it as a sidedish. But sometimes i serve it as an accompaniment for rice and it tastes too good.
