Hope you all know about beet root.  In villages grandma’s used to call this veggie as “Rattha kilangu” .  In my childhood I have seen many kids using this beetroot pieces to color their lips (lipstick) and having fun.Idon’t know how many kids are doing still?

I know about beetroot cutlet only after coming to US. My brother’s friend’s Mom made this beetroot cutlet and my brother had this. He like it. From him only I know that we can make cutlet using Beetroot. But she didn’t diclose the recipe when my brother asked so I searched web and found this recipe . Beetroot is wonderful ,colorful veggie . Apart from cooking this vegetable  you can  also use beetroot to colour any other recipes if needed. Grate little beetroot and squeeze the juice to add color to the recipe that calls for a color.
