This recipe is so delicious and mouth watering, and it is healthy too. I got this recipe from my mom and my daughter loves it too. This dish is a family favourite and I make it almost once a week.

3 garlic cloves (chopped)
1 green chilli (chopped)
½ cup split bengal gram or yellow lentils (yellow masoor dal)
1 tsp cumin seeds
Salt as required
1tsp oil

Instructions

Soak the lentils in water for 30 min.
In the meantime chop and grate the vegetables.
Heat oil in a vessel and add the cumin seeds and let them splutter
Add the onion and fry it for 5 minutes.
Add the green chilli and garlic cloves.
Add the soaked and drained lentils to the fried onions.
Add the grated beets, salt and add little water. Let them cook under a lid.
Cook until al dente (and add more water if it is too dry).
Serve hot with rice or roti.

Tips

Care should be taken not to overcook the beets.
The lentils also should not be over cooked.
