Hello Hetal and Anuja
I tried this tempting and so nutritious beetroot today and they are irresistible.
Since long I knew the goodness of this not very popular vegetable but did not know how to add it in my family’s diet making it tasty. Now thanks to you that I use it as a sabzi and salad too (both your recipes). Everyone loves beetroot now.
With your help I have improved my culinary skills tremenduosly and cook a variety of dishes now
Credit goes to your easy style of demonstrating them.
Hats off to you both !

Hetal & Anuja Hello again. Just made this wonderful beetroot dish per your method and it is a knockout! I have always liked beets, but this makes them almost desert! Maybe next time I should try a little ice cream with them. Thanks L.W.

Hi Umu,
Jaggery is a unrefined raw type of cane sugar. You can substitute brown sugar or regular sugar. In this recipe, you can even leave it out because sometimes, the beets are super sweet as well.

Hello,
Where do we find beetroot in USA? I usually shop at Walmart, and used to find it there years ago but lately I do not see it either in Walmart, or Farm fresh or Food lion.
Thank you in advance for your response

Hi Newbee,
We see them all the time at Walmart, Kroger, Sprouts, etc. Sometimes, what your grocery store stocks is dependent on the ethnic makeup of the community you live in. Your local Indian grocery store should also have them.
