Suggestions
Wear gloves while cutting beetroots to prevent the color coming on your hands.
There is no need to put water in the sabzi as beetroots are quite juicy. The juices released from beetroots helps cooking the sabzi.
Don’t cook to make the beetroots tender completely just make it little soft.
