BEETROOT CHUTNEY

Beetroot chutney is the recent dish I try ed and tested which was simply super hit one. This chutney has a well rounded flavour that goes well with most variants of idlies, dosa or even with chappathi. I tried with seasoned idlies which came out so well. This chutney has a hint of sweetness  that comes with the veggie beets, spice from the red chilly and tang from tomatoes. So its a mixed flavours that's makes this chutney even more tasty. Do try this at home for sure :)
