Beet rice

Chef's special:

One beet root , one onion and rice, first fried in oil with cumin seeds and red chillies and then pressure cooked. Tasty. But I guess I made a bad choice of using red chillies here, because it looks exactly like the beet root and I have already munched on a couple of chillies.

And yes, that is the actual colour.

I pay so much attention to my food and stand by it lovingly as it cooks and tend it so gently, while my house mate rushes in, 'fixes' a meal in a jiffy and is off. My cooking time must be equal to her cooking and eating and cleaning time. Maybe more.

Have I mentioned before that the worst job is cleaning up after cooking? Especially with beet root. Everything around me is maroon now. Wonder why they called it beet. Sounds so sad.
