Beetroot Rasam

Beetroot rasam

Beetroot is a very healthy vegetable. Today I’ve prepared rasam with beetroot. My kids love this rasam, they call it as “Pink Rasam”. The rasam is very easy to make and tasty to eat. The preparation of beetroot rasam is just like any other rasam. I have grated beetroot and made the rasam. Instead you can chop them into pieces and can prepare it. The rasam is so delicious with its earthy flavour and dazzling colour. Here I present incredible beetroot rasam which can be served as an accompaniment to hot steamed rice or can be consumed as a thin soup. Njoy Cooking, Serving n Savoring!
