Notes:
- Always use cooked and cooled rice for making this as it will taste the best.
- It is always a good idea to make this beetroot rice from leftover rice.
- Also, I will suggest to use boiled beetroot and then grate it. You can also use raw beetroot and grate but this will increase the cooking time.
- You can add red chili powder also, however, I prefer using green chili in this recipe.
- Instead of oil, you can also use ghee for the rice preparations.
- For more crunch, you can add peanuts or cashew nuts.
