Author’s note on making Beetroot buthi:
Hello all, beetroot buthi is one of the handy and tasty recipe to prepare at lunch. I personally love this recipe for two reasons. One is its taste and the other is its health benefits. It is said that beetroot is high on iron contents and helps in production of blood in body. On the other hand you can also prepare buthi using other vegetables like ivy gourd, bottle gourd or mushroom using same masala. All of them tastes equally good.
Few suggestion I would like to give on this recipe is, you can cook the beetroot initially in cooker with one or two whistles and then directly mix it with masala. This saves a lot of time. Secondly make the dish with thick consistency, this will enhance the taste and you can feel the juicy beetroot when you consume it. Rest it is so simple and anyone can prepare it at home.
So what are you waiting for? Just get some beetroots from market and prepare it. Feel free to comment about this dish in the comment section. Also try my other Konkani recipes like Sanna Polo, Biscuit rotti, poha chutney and many more. Cook healthy, eat well and be healthy.
