I also add 2 spoons of soaked tuar daal when grinding for making moor kootu. i used to discard the beet greens sometimes. sometimes i make like regular keerai masiyal. thanks for a new recipe with beet greens.

I have another recipe for kootu and usili also, if you haven’t noticed it already.

All these days I used to discard the beet greens!! Thanks for the recipe and sending it to FIC – next time I will use the greens for kootu or molagootal!

Madhuram, it (WWPF) should be available in any normal grocery store in the flour section, if not try the Whole foods market. They surely have it, at least in the bulk section.

That looks so nutritous! now, I got to find the beet greens!
So, how exactly do they taste? Like regular Keerai?

I get beets with the greens in the regular grocery store. Usually it’s organic. Also beet greens tastes very much like spinach.

Madhuram,
My son is allergic to besan. What would be a good substitute for besan flour? Or,I guess, I could do this with lentils. Also, which coconut oil did you use?

Anjali, besan is not a must in this recipe. It’s used to just thicken the consistency of the kootu. You can omit it or use rice flour instead. I use the Parachute brand coconut oil.
