Brush and clean beet and cut into 15 mm squares.

If you want a little bit of heat, you can add a small dried red chili to the roast. Add onion and garlic and stir-fry until translucent. Add the herb mixture stirred in water and stir continuously until the water boils away. Finally, the ghee should separate from the mushy spice mixture.
