Beetroot poriyal, a healthy thuvaran / poriyal for any rice varieties. This recipe is slightly different from the traditional way of doing poriyal. Generally we cook the vegetable and then do the seasoning. I tasted this wonderful taste of beetroot poriyal in one of my Telugu friends home and the variation made the dish an extraordinary taste. Especially the kids will enjoy this dish.
