Method:
1. Grate the beetroot and keep it aside.

2. Coarsely grind shallots, grated coconut and green chilli and keep it aside.

3. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a pan and splutter mustard seeds.

4. Add curry leaves and coarsely ground mixture. Saute for a minute and add grated beetroot and salt to taste.
