Beet root is highly known for its lovely natural colour and its property to boost up iron content in our body. Some how beet root stir fry or curry haven’t interested me a lot. I like it in soup/rice or halwa or jam. Here is a very quick recipe of beet root rice which can be your perfect lunch box recipe if your choice is for healthy food.
Ingredients:
- Basmati Rice-1 cup
- Beet root-1 cup(grated)
- Onion-1 cup(sliced)

3.Fluff the rice with a fork carefully.
4.Add ghee/oil in a pan and saute GGG paste.
