Beetroot Steak and Chips

After having tried many Indian dishes with Beetroot, I wanted to try something new and head straight for Google. Thats when I stumbled upon two new dishes - Beetroot Chips and a Finnish dish called Punajuuripihvit - which I will refer to as Beetroot Steak.

Here is how you go about preparing them.

Ingredients
Beetroot Chips -
Beetroot - 1 nos, thinly sliced
Oil - 3 cups for deep frying
Salt - for seasoning

Beetroot Steak -
Beetroot - 1 nos, sliced into thick circular or semi-circular discs
Eggs - 2 nos
Bread crumbs - 1 cup
Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
Pepper - 1/2 teaspoon

Method




Beetroot Chips -
Heat oil in a deep pan and bring it to temperature required for deep frying.
Once heated, put in the thinly sliced beetroot and fry them until they become crisp. This can be identified by the absence of bubbles while frying. The procedure is same as preparing potato chips.
Remove them from the oil and place them in a plate covered with tissue paper - this is to soak the excess oil. After removing the excess oil, season the chips with Salt or any other seasoning agent.

Serve the chips hot with ketchup or any dip of your choice.

Beetroot Steak -
Break two eggs and beat them until they are mixed well. Add salt and pepper to this and mix well.
Dip the thickly cut beetroot discs in the eggs and coat them with bread crumbs.
Place a non stick pan on the stove and add a few drops of oil. Once the pan is hot, place the beetroot disc in the pan.

Let the side cook for two minutes and then turn them over to cook for two more minutes or until the bread crumbs coating the beetroot turn light brown.



Serve the steak with ketchup or any dip of your choice.
