This is another traditional recipe from Tagore Family. Thakur Barir Ranna. Purnima Tagore is the author of this great book.  I tried so many recipe from this book and each of the recipe carries the tradition of Bengali Cuisine. Some authentic recipes from Bangladesh are also included in this book. Specifically this book contains most of the recipes from Tagore family which is very authentic and traditional and famous too. More and more some recipes are little different than traditional recipes too. Still its great i think. As it contains some  international recipes on those contemporary periods. Those international recipes were very famous in tagore family.
So one classic recipe name Beetroot paste is sharing with you hope you will like it. Its very simple and easy recipe which goes very well with plain rice. Look is so colorful that you cannot resist to try it.  I made little changes on the recipe to add more flavor to it. So no waiting... try and enjoy.

Nutritional facts about beetroot is very high. It is a good source of Vitamin A, which is very good for eyes.
vitamin C , Calcium and Irons are other important elements of Beetroot.

Nabanita Das
Whenever I am thinking for some special cuisine at my home, it has to be really a special dish for me. No any common dishes I would not prefer to follow absolutely. So Some state or region has its own culture for their cuisines. So we identify them only by their special and identical cooking preparation which are really well known by all of us.As for example For Mughlai khana we always know that Biriyani is the most favorable delicacy. Same to same Awadhi cuisine or Lucknow cuisine has their own specialty too. In maximum cases they are cooking in Dum Puckt style foods means cooking will be done in a big hundi with a lid including all the spices but in low flame. But think as Mughal culture and Lucknow culture are more or less same in their cooking style. Still it has to be some differentiation in some cases.
