Beetroot chutney | thogayal is a tasty side prepared with beetroot. Beetroot Chutney goes well with any tiffin variety and also tastes yummy when mixed with rice and oil. Beetroot thogayal can be prepared within 15 minutes. With little leftover beetroot, this beetroot Thogayal is a good way to finish it.
Should I pressure-cook beetroot?
Beetroot takes a longer time to cook, so I prefer pressure-cooking beetroot. Al dente cooking helps for perfect thogayal texture. Avoid adding more water as it might turn beetroot mushy.
Can I grate beets and saute?
Yes, in that case, you can skip pressure-cooking beets. Sauté beets separately in oil for 2 minutes, then sprinkle water; cover and cook till the raw smell goes off and beets turn soft.
Can I reduce red chilli?
I have used Byadagi chilli; hence, I have used more red chilli as it is not spicy. Beetroot thogayal might taste sweet, so adjust the chilli accordingly.
Can I add onion?
Yes, you can add onion/ garlic for extra flavor. Sauté them separately
