Notes
- Beetroot Thoran / Beetroot Upperi is one of the main side dishes served in Sadhya. Beetroot is one of my favorite vegetable and I always try to incorporate in my daily cooking. This particulr style of cooking is very popular in Kerala. Thoran is something you can do with almost all the vegetables. Thoran means finely chopped vegetables cooked in cumin, green chilies and grated coconut mixture. In that you can do a lot of different variations you like.
Enjoy!!!!!!!!!
