Beetroot is a very healthy
vegetable. Research has found that beetroot helps reduce blood pressure to a
great degree if consumed daily. In my family, my mother is suffering from high
pressure and hence she has been advised by the doctors to include beetroots in
her regular diet.
The below recipe of
beetroot is an interesting one. Served with steamed rice, it tastes amazing.
Hope you guys will like it.
