hello buddy,

you can cook the beetroot as a curry, .The leaves need less cooking,so they can be added after a few minutes of cooking the beet

Buddy

You can make a mallung. Import some idiappam from Maradana Sandagiri and eat with kirihothi. Remember the 96! idiappam between you and Sarath Kapu. You will still be alive when we meet next.

Kind regards

Syed
