  2. Combine chawli and enough water in a deep bowl. 
  3. Cover with a lid and keep aside to soak 3-4 hours or overnight.

making boiled beetroot cubes
  1. Firstly scrub and wash the beetroots. In India, red beets are highly popular and easily available but, fancy supermarkets do have other variants and you can use any type of beetroots like a candy cane, yellow beet or Crimson Globe, Crosby Egyptian and Early Wonder variety.

  6. Peel off the boiled beetroots while they are still warm and discard the skin. You may end up with pink hands and pink stains so, make sure you use an apron and possibly gloves to prevent that. If you have a marble kitchen counter then be very careful while doing this procedure. 
  7. Place the beetroots on a chopping board and cut them into cubes. You can even cut them in slices or wedges if you like. Another way to cook beetroot is by roasting them. Compared to boiling it’s a slow process but, the end product is very delicious. For roasting the beetroots, place beets in foil-lined baking pan and top with prepared dressing. Bake for 25-30 minutes at 200°C or until tender.
