Beetroot Black Pepper Fry ~ Beetroot Talimpu

This Beetroot pepper fry recipe has been lying in my drafts for months and today i am finally bringing it to light! Beetroot steamed and then sauteed with tadka, curry leaves and spiced with black pepper is a very simple recipe, but yet packed with loads of vitamins and flavor. This goes well with hot steamed rice, or wrap rotis, with beetroot curry, some fresh sweet onions, cilantro and fresh thick yogurt(curd). I am sure kids wouldn't mind some sour cream too inside the wrap.
