Beetroot Poriyal (Stir fried beetroot)

       Beetroot Poriyal (Stir fried beetroot)


         I have something from south Indian food today.A very easy to prepare with little preparation and very few ingredients,this poriyal is a very healthy option .Beetroot being a vegetable rich in iron content and with loads of other nutrition,this item is a wonderful choice for any home.


Poriyal has different names in the different south Indian states. While in Tamil it is called poriyal,it is also called palya and porutu in other states.It is basically a sauteed or stir fried preparation with flavouring agents and with coconut..



For those who are new to South Indian food,you might have noticed this item at one corner of the banana leaf when you have eaten south Indian thalis .The same preparation can be made with cabbage,carrot ,beans etc.
