I have been getting lot of requests from my followers in facebook and Instagram since I had posted this picture, asking for the recipe.
This Potato beetroot masala is a very popular side dish specially among keralites. Indian Coffee House is an age old restaurant chain in Kerala and this gravy has been a hit at their restaurants. They serve this gravy along with hot and crispy Pooris and also with Masala Dosa as a filling inside the dosa.
I have recreated this recipe, when my hubby wished to have this combination. Here I am sharing this super delicious, quick and easy recipe, do share your feedback if you like the recipe and try it.
