Muslim kalyana veedu sweet pachadi

Coarse grind or mash cooked beetroot follow the rest of the steps for bhai veetu beetroot pachadi. 

SHOULD I PRESSURE-COOK beetroot?

You can saute beetroot and prepare pachadi but it takes a long time for the beets.  Pressure-cooking beets are faster hence I prefer doing it.

CAN I SKIP SUGAR FOR KALYANA beetroot PACHADI?

Traditionally white sugar is added to the Sweet Kalyana pachadi. For a healthier version, you can use brown sugar, and jaggery but the taste might not be similar. If you prefer using honey, add very little sugar and cook the fruits, turn off the stove and add honey

SHOULD I COOK SUGAR TO STRING CONSISTENCY?

No, you can just add sugar to the cooked beets. 

Can I add rose flavor?

To make it more flavorful you can add a little rose syrup or rose essence. Avoid adding more as that will dominate the pachadi flavor.

Can I skip Corn flour?

Corn flour is optional for homestyle sweet beet pachadi but to make it saravana bhavan beetroot sweet pachadi, I would recommend little corn flour. It gives glossy and the best texture to the sweet pachadi. Avoid adding more as that might make it to halwa texture.

1/4 cup water
