This dish reminds of my dear friend Rakhi. When we were in Bangalore she used to prepare this dish with so much of perfection. She used to grate and grate beetroot with so much of precision that finally a delicious thoran used to get ready. Thanks my dear friend for giving me the inspiration to write this recipe.
