Mildly-flavoured dry subzis like this go well with just about any type of roti and can be had just by itself as a snack too! Here, low-sodium beetroot is cooked with a simple south Indian style tempering in just a teaspoon of oil. Make sure the mustard splutters well, so that its flavour comes out fully. Together with whole wheat chapatis this Beetroot Subzi is a great choice for those with high blood pressure.
