This recipe is just combining some of favorite ingredients, rice , beetroot and spices :)
I love the color of this dish and the taste is fabulous plus it is healthy because of the antioxidants in beetroot and nutrients of the veggies. You can combine veggies of your choice as well.

1/4 C green pepper
1/2 tsp jeera (cumin)
2 cloves

salt to taste

Method:

1) Cut all the veggies in thin slices.

2) In a pressure cooker, add oil and let it become hot.
