BEETROOT CHUTNEY
Beetroot is not liked by many people.Most of us like to see it only in salads either sliced or shredded.Today we'll make it a paste and relish beetroot.

Tomato-2 medium chopped into big chunks
Urad dal-3 tbsp
Chana dal-3 tbsp
Cumin seeds-1 tbsp
Mustard seeds- 1tbsp
asafoetida-1 tsp
Turmeric powder-1/2 tsp
Oil-4 tbsp
dry whole red chilli-4 ( adjust as per taste)
Salt

Procedure
1)In a pan pour some oil around 5 tbsp,add some turmeric powder,asafoetida and fry the beetroot till tender and loses all the rawness.
2)After the beetroot is half done add the chopped tomatoes and let all of them cook well together.See that they dont get burnt else it would ruin the taste.Keep the mixture aside for cooling.
3)In a pan take some oil add mustard seeds,cumin seeds,urad dal,chana dal,asafoetida, and in the end add dry whole red chillis.
4)First make a fine paste of the above mixture and then add the beetroot mixture ,some salt and make a paste.
5)Can be served with rice ,rotis.

P.S:Be cautious when you fry the veggies ,if burnt they dont give a proper taste.So fry them on a low to medium flame.
