Method
- Wash, peel and chop beetroot into tiny cubes.
- Heat the pan, add 1 tbsp of oil.
- Add mustard seeds and let it splutter, then add cumin seeds, curry leaves and asofaetida.
- Now add green chilli, saute for a few seconds; add beetroot and fry well until the raw smell disappears. This usually takes 3-5 minutes.
- Add salt, chilli powder, cumin powder and saute.
- Add eggs and mix well with the beetroot.
- Add the rest of the oil at this stage.
- It prevents egg from sticking to the pan.
- Fry it until you get the scrambled egg consistency.
- Add the coarse urad dal and chana dal powder.
- This gives added crunch while eating and also enhances the taste of the dish since it is in a semi-powder form.
- Fry for 1 more minute and remove from flame.
