Beetroot Sukke (Spiced Beetroots)

GoodFood BBC magazine (March 2014) features recipes of Chitrapur Saraswats, I fell in love with the Beetroots Sukke (Spiced Beetroots), I love this root vegetable & often have it raw or cooked in salads, but I never came across any recipe which had beetroots in main course. I was salivating (literally) after reading the recipe. Hope y'll beetroot lovers try this veggie.
