A smart way to cook vegetables is by adding pulses or lentils to them. It not only ups the nutrition, but also helps to vary the texture of the end product.

This beetroot sabji with chana dal packs quiet a punch. Taste bhi, health bhi!

Ingredients

• Beetroot: 1.5 cup (peeled and cut into cubes)
• Chana dal: ¼ cup
• Garlic: 2 cloves
• Green chilli: 1 no

Method

• Soak chana dal in water for about an hour.
