Beet Rasam & Chanadal and Bulgur Sundal - T& T from Madhuram's Eggless Cooking

I crossed this beet rasam before month in Madhuram's Eggless Cooking and immediately i bookmarked it..Today i bought few fresh beets and i prepared immediately this beet rasam with beets cooked water...I thought earlier to prepare beets rasam by pressure cooking beets and preparing rasam with spice powders and grounded pressure cooked beets paste...But i loved the simplicity of Madhu's Beet rasam which hardly need few ingredients to prepare this delicious and tastiest colourful rasam...I used moongdal water instead of toor dal, else i prepared exactly as same as the recipe goes for..And my next choice goes to chanadal and bulgur sundal, wat a healthy and nutritious sundal which i never ever thought until i crossed this healthy snacks again in Madhu's blog..I usually prepare channadal sundal whenever i dont have any dried beans at home, as its really very easy and simple to prepare, but when i crossed this chanadal and bulgur sundal i was surprised and very much interested to try out this particular sundal..Today i prepared Arisiparuppu sadham, beets rasam, chanadal and bulgur sundal with radish poriyal for our lunch..We just enjoyed everything and my H was particularly surprised when he saw the channadal and bulgur sundal, while serving i told about Madhu's blog and served it for our lunch..He just loved it..Thanks Madhu for sharing this delicious sundal and colourful rasam, obviously this both dishes goes to T&T-Madhuram's Eggless Cooking guest hosted by Poornima of Tasty Treats, event started by Zlamushka...

Priya, I'm very glad that your family enjoyed both the recipes. Thank you very much for trying them. The beet rasam was my mother's idea, will pass on the feedback to her.
