ABOUT Beetroot poriyal RECIPE

If you are looking for a simple and a healthy veggie stir fry dish, then go ahead and prepare this Beetroot Poriyal. It is a South Indian side dish, very popular in Tamil Nadu. It is a very quick recipe with lots of fresh grated coconut added to the end product. It is almost similar to Beetroot Thoran, a kerala speciality. Onions may or may not be added according to individual preference. It can be relished with either rice or chapattis, but it goes especially well with curd-rice or sambar-rice.
