Beetroot is a vegetable with full of nutrients and many medicinal values. Beetroot is a super food and it contains potassium, magnesium, iron, vitamins A, B6 and C, folic acid, carbohydrates, protein, antioxidants and soluble fibre. Many studies have suggested that increasing consumption of beetroot like vegetables decreases the risk of obesity, diabetes and heart disease.

In this beetroot chutney recipe, I have finely chopped the beetroot. However you can grate the beetroot to reduce the beetroot cooking time. You need not cook the beetroot until very soft. Just cooking it for few minutes sould be ok. Also I haven't added onion and garlic in this recipe. If you wish to add, fry them after frying the dals.
