Beetroot Pachadi

Being a non-vegetarian i always find it difficult to jot down a menu when a pure vegetarian group is invited home for dinner...This beetroot pachadi is excellent as an addon to sadya ...I generally hate beetroot but as a pachadi it turned out quite nice ..very simple to make too..

Ingredients:

1. Beetroot(grated) - 1 medium sized
2. ginger(grated) - 1 tsp
3. green chillies(slit) - 1
4. onion(finely chopped) - 1
5. curry leaves - 1 sprig
6. mustard seeds - 1/2 tsp
7. curd - 1 1/2 cups
8. salt to taste
9. oil - 1 tsp

Method:

Heat oil in pan.Add mustard seeds.When they begin to splutter add onion.When onion turns translucent add beetroot, ginger,green chillies,curry leaves and salt.Stir well.Fry this mixture till all the moisture is absorbed & beetroot is fully cooked (add water if required).Remove from flame.Once the mixture is slightly cool add curd(slightly beaten).U may add a littl e buttermilk along with curd if u like it in a thinner consistency.There!!..its done ..wasnt that simple!!
