1/8 cup of chopped coriander
1/4 cup of grated coconut

Now add the beetroot cubes, salt to taste and one tablespoon sugar .Let it cook for 6 to 10 minutes on medium heat. Add grated coconut and chopped coriander and mix well.

Our colorful and tasty sabzi is ready to eat. This can be served with roti or rice.
