Beetroot rice in South Indian style, with simple spices is a quick meal idea or for lunch box. Easy for beginners and bachelors as well to prepare. A No onion No garlic recipe, with step by step pictures.
I love beetroot a lot. Mostly make poriyal and have it. I thought I should try something different.
Already tried making beetroot pulao, so something easy and simple. Found this in my notebook and thought give it a try.

It was tasting really good, I felt like having this Kothamalli podi rice. Thought this could be a good lunch box recipe you can make it quickly, with simple ingredients. If you are looking for a satvik style rice and want to keep it mild & simple, you should try this.
Step by step
- Wash and peel off the skin of the beetroot firstly. After that, cut into two and slice it. Furthermore, cut the slices into strips by stacking it.
2. Then chop these strips to get finely chopped beetroot. I microwaved with little water and salt to beetroot.
3. You can steam or adapt your method of cooking. Meanwhile cook rice and cool down with a teaspoon of sesame oil and required salt, to get separate grains.
4. In a pan, heat oil and temper with jeera,. Take care not to burn it. Add green chilies and cooked beetroot to it.
5. Saute well. Add coriander seeds powder and chopped coriander leaves. give it a stir.
6. Finally add cooked rice and mix gently.
Serve with fryums or any simple raita. I had with fryums and keerai masiyal.
