Ok another week of BM has arrived and I am into the theme seven days of rice..Cooking with rice is really easy for me because rice is a staple diet of we southindians…Throughout this week I will show you all kids of quick rice dishes and some special rice recipes too..

Beetroots are such a interesting vegetable to be added in rice, because it gives rice its natural colour so you don’t have to worry about adding any colours to it..When beets are combined with rice, they give a natural sweetness to the rice and that what makes this dish a real hit..This is a very simple pulav that can be made in less than 30 mins..A perfect recipe to put in lunch box..

I hope you like it and let me know what you think..I am sending this recipe to BM Day 1 under the theme Seven Days of Rice…

    I thought the rice looked different, and now I know it's basmati rice. What a great idea to use beetroots to give it that color!:D
