How to make Beetroot poriyal with step by step images

Wash, peel and chop beetroot. Now heat oil in a pan add beetroot and saute for a few seconds, then add green peas, sambar powder and salt. Mix well.
Cover the poriyal with lid and cook in low to medium flame without adding water. An occasional stir is required in order to make sure it does not get burnt. (It took me around 15 minutes). If you want you can sprinkle little water in between to prevent burning of poriyal. When the beetroot looks tender and peas looks cooked. Put off the flame and serve.
