Beetroot Chutney / Beetroot Thogayal ( for Idli / dosa )
When I heard bout this chutney I wasn’t sure how it was going to taste, because till then I tasted only poriyal varieties. This Chutney turned tasty and rich in color. If you want to add color to the plate add this. It goes good with Idili and Dosas.
Beetroot has lot of health benefits. It helps lower blood pressure, preventing bad cholesterol, treating anaemia. But consuming too much also has it’s lower side, it has oxalates which prevents calcium from being absorbed by body and thus build up as Kidney stones.
