A Iron rich recipe, which is very much suitable of anemic patients and also a health beneficial dish for one and all.
Trying to post as many recipes using beetroot, so that it will be useful for everyone. Below is the recipe of beetroot palya/subji paired with soaked & cooked chickpeas, in a simple basic south Indian tadka.
You can use any chickpeas of your choice like…. brown chickpeas, Kabul chana, fresh green chana or dried green chana etc
Beetroot chickpeas stir fry or Palya goes very well with saaru/rasam rice, poori, chapati, phulka, akki rotti (rice rotti) etc. I personally like to eat this palya/subji as such or mixing it with white rice.
