Chukandar
150 g1 medium beetroot (about 150 g)
Medium Indian beetroot ~150 g.
Instead of Beetroot
Nothing gives the same earthiness and deep pink colour; carrot is closest for sweetness.
CarrotUse the same weight; grate or dice. Cooks 5 minutes faster and gives orange colour, not pink, with a sweeter taste.
Sweet potatoUse the same weight; cube and cook similarly. Sweeter and less earthy, with a softer texture.
PumpkinUse the same weight; cube and cook 5 minutes less. Milder and softer, so the colour and earthiness are lost.
