Peel and wash beetroots, slice them and quarter each slice. Put into pot, pour just enough water to cover the beats, cook under cover 20 min.

Remove beets from the dark pink water and use them in another dish for example; mithe samose stuffed with sweet beetroot halva, or paratha stuffed with beetroot masala, or beetroot curry.

Remove bones from chicken, cut chicken into small pieces, put them into dark pink water, boil under cover 15 min. In another pot fry sliced onion on oil.
