Hi Shilpa,
Have never tried cooking beetroots in the pressure cooker, for how long should it be kept, with how much amount of water. Would appreciate your response. Thanks.

Shilpa: about 10mins with 1/2 inch water. You can also cook it without cooker like any other vegetable. I use cooker because I can cook more than one item at a time (I cook rice, dal and vegetable at a time using 3 cooker vessels).

I am a novice in cooking.
I tried this beetroot side dish on monday. It didn’t come well. Beetroot’s raw smell remained in the dish. My husband’s comments discouraged me .
Again i tried this today without boil the beetroots. and added a pinch of turmeric while cooking. The raw smell vanished and It came well today. Thanks Shilpa Aunty. I love your blog.

Beetroot is very good cure for keeping or maintaining low blood pressure. i.e. Strongly recommended vegetable for those suffering from HIGH blood pressure.

Beetroot, something I’ve discovered in the latter part of my 21years on this planet. Its an acquired taste i believe. Wonderful advise on the color. Thank you and Anisha

Thanks for the recipe. Will try. Beetroot is good for increasing RBC (Red blood corpuscles) levels

So womenfolk, hog on beetroot!

Beetroot palya is one of my all time favourites. I have not tried adding onions / sprouted moong / capsicum. Will try this out next time I am making beetroot palya.

Hi Shilpa,

Beetroot is a very healthy vegetable. Goes well with frozen peas as well. I always use red chillies for beetroot dishes, looks and tastes good.

The tip to add sugar may seem useful but we really should try to limit usage of sugar for such unnecessary tasks. While it may be a convenient trick, root veg are already high in natural sugars. We should be mindful of how we treat our bodies. While I am all for shortcuts in cooking, we should understand the science behind the art.
