Hi…
A small tip, if you won’t mind.

You don’t need to dunk the beet in water (and thus lose a bit of the nutrition). You place the beet dry in a small bowl, place the bowl in water inside the pressure cooker, — usually PC’s come with a small steaming plate which you can place at the bottom of the PC and then the bowl on top of it and so forth… — then shut the PC, place the steam stopper and cokk for 3 whsitles. The beet is soft yet crunchy and no loss of nutrition.
(those without a PC can use a regular pot with 2″ level water, place bowl with beet in water, cover pot and boil 45 min after boiling point. Periodically top up water in pot)

There is a 1/2 beet sitting alone in my fridge …now i know what to do. I do the exact same pachadi with steamed diced zucchini but never thought I could substitute beets there, thanks Madhuram.
