Beetroot Thoran...

Ok, I've discovered in the last one month that "thorans" are by far the easiest dishes to make, esp if someone else is doing the chopping for you ;)
The beetroot is another of the daughter's favourite, so inevitably it ends being on our table atleast once in a week...and today was yet another beetroot day.

Ingredients:
Beetroot - 3 medium sized
Chilly Powder - 1 tsp
Turmeric Powder - 1/4 tsp
Salt - to taste

To Grind:

Sambar onion -- 2-3
Jeera seeds -- a pinch
Green chilly -- 2-3 (would vary depending on your spice level) 
Grated coconut - 4 tbsps

Coarsely grind the above.

Method:
1. Beetroot can be either be grated or finely chopped. When I have a lot of time, I prefer to finely chop them.

2. In a frying pan, splutter a few mustard seeds, dry red chilly and curry leaves.
3. Add the beetroot into the frying pan, along the chilly powder, turmeric powder and salt.
4. Add a little water (abt 3-4 tbsps), reduce the flame and cook until the beetroot is well cooked and until there is no more water in the pan.
5. Increase the flame and add the ground mixture into the pan.
6. Mix well, and saute on high flame for a couple of minutes more.
7. Turn off the stove.
