Cool beets slightly and peel off skin. Cut beets into small cubes.
Making Poriyal
In a pan heat coconut oil. Keep flame on low and add mustard seeds. When the mustard seeds begin to crackle, add urad dal stirring often until the urad dal is lightly browned.
Add green chili, chopped curry leaves and asafoetida and stir well until curry leaves are crispy.
Then add 2 cups chopped red beets. Mix well and add salt to taste.
