Beetroot Poriyal / Beetroot Stir Fry

Beetroot Poriyal or any kind of vegetables poriyal are often made at home... I find to make it easy, so when i make sambar, i end up making either a vegetable poriyal, Avial, or kootu... as a sidedish... My hubby offer to prepare three verity of sidedish for lunch menu... Poriyal is a preparation where the vegetables are sauted in spices and topped with fresh grated coconut for making poriyals, you can either grated or chop the veggies finely... Here i chopped the beetroot, if you grated it take less time for the veggies to cook... This is my standard recipe for making poriyal with any vegetables .....
