Beetroot upperi

Upperi is a veggie dry side-dish.   A different treatment of beetroot from what I have grown up with, this dish is just another that I learnt from my mother-in-law.
You can even mix beetroot and carrot in this.

Ingredients
Beetroot 1 or 2, skinned and grated. The volume increases after grating.
Carrot grated 1 (optional)
Onion 1 chopped very fine. We do not want to see bigger pieces of onion in between the grated beetroot.
Green chillies 2-3 chopped
Curry leaves, oil, mustard seeds for seasoning.
Turmeric powder
Salt to taste.

Method

1. Heat oil(I use coconut oil for this dish), add seasonings. 
2. Once that is done, add beetroot, carrot, onion, turmeric powder, salt to taste and mix well.
3. Sprinkle some water and cook covered. Stir occasionally and sprinkle water as needed. The raw smell of onions should disappear and the beetroot should soften.
4. Serve hot with rice and any curry of your choice.
