Sridevi's Red Beet Rice

My cousin's red beet rice is a crowd pleaser and is a nice colorful addition to any plate of food.

Start with 2 small onions chopped and saute at Med high in oil.
Cut 1 large beet roughly chopped after peeling (be careful because the red sticks to everything)
Fry for a couple of minutes.
Add 1 - 2 Bay Leaves (whole is fine), 1-2 Curry Leaves (whole is fine), 1 tablespoon crushed garlic / ginger paste, 1 teaspoon curry powder, 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper and fry for about a minute.
Add 2 green chilli peppers chopped, Frozen Peas (1/4 cup), 1 big dash of salt and pepper (1-2tsp), Frozen Corn (1/4 cup), 1-2 tomatoes  and heat for a minute or two to get the thaw out. Make sure to mix in the salt.  Now add 2 1/2 cups of jasmine rice (mix in the ingredients for a minute or two again).  Add 4 1/2 cups of water and cook on medium low with the lid on for 15-20 minutes or add to a rice cooker.   Add 1 handful of cilantro chopped at the end for color.
