- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon turmeric powder

- 2 tablespoons fresh coriander leaves
- 5 sprays cooking oil spray

Instructions
Peel and dice the beetroots into small cubes.
Finely chop the onion, tomatoes, and green chili.
Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and spray it with cooking oil spray approximately 5 times.
Add cumin seeds to the pan and let them sizzle for a few seconds.
Add the chopped onion and sauté until golden brown.
Stir in ginger paste, garlic paste, and green chili. Cook for another minute until fragrant.
Add chopped tomatoes and cook until they soften and oil starts to separate.
Mix in turmeric powder, coriander powder, and salt. Stir well.
Add the diced beetroot to the mixture and stir to coat the beetroot pieces with the spices.
Pour in 250 ml of water, cover the pan, and let it simmer on low heat for about 15 minutes or until the beetroot is tender.
Once the beetroot is cooked, remove the lid and stir in the low-fat yogurt, ensuring it is well combined.
Continue to cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Finish with garam masala and sprinkle fresh coriander leaves over the top.
Serve hot with steamed rice or low-fat flatbreads.
