Beetroot Dal Beetroot dal is new favourite in the house!  We’ve been making beetroot cutlets, dosas, vadas and even Sabzi they taste great but got bored, so for variation I made this dal last month since then have been making it whenever we've got beets at home! I would like to mention few things Sometimes the beets doesn't give vibrat red colour to Dal , which is fine! Sometimes the dal is slightly pink and beets are kind of white when cooked, which if fine too!  Both are edible and tastes great!  Variety and breeding are responsible for colour change! When you're in doubt, always grate the beetroot instead of thinly chopping it.
