Beetroot Thalipu or Spicy Beetroot Salad - Indian style

I am not a big fan of beetroot but still doesn't want to ignore it. Since it goes well with curd rice, I always prepare once in two weeks. Again there are different styles in preparing the beetroot thalipu or spicy beetroot salad. I am showing you the typical Andhra style. 



Ingredients: 

  • Beetroot - 2 
  • Red chili powder - 1tsp 
  • Coriander powder - 2tsp 
  • Roasted split gram or Potukadalai - 1Tbsp (coarsely grinded) 
  • Garlic cloves - 5 (Optional) 

Seasoning: Mustard seeds - 1tsp Urad dal - 1tsp Curry leaves - 1strip 

Procedure:
  • Peel the beetroot and chop into small pieces, steam and drain the excess water . keep it aside.
  • Heat oil in a fry pan add mustard,urad dal, curry leaves and saute it for 30sec.
  • Add the chili powder and coriander powder saute it for another 30sec.
  • Add the beetroot and fry it for 1min.
  • Add the garlic and roasted split gram powder. cook for 1min .
  • Garnish with curry leaves.
  • Serve it with curd rice or Roti.
