About

Beetroot Chutney is a classic Indian condiment with a spicy and tangy flavor. It is a healthy and vibrant dish made from beetroot, an assortment of seeds and spices and often a hint of jaggery for sweetness. This chutney is often served with rice, idlis, dosas or chapatis. All parts of the beetroot, including the stem and leaves, can be used in the chutney, making it a sustainable cooking option.
