Sweet chutney for biryani / Beetroot-dates chutney

Eat beetroot, or red spinach , its a cure for anaemia, that was the fact I had heard a lot about beet-roots since from childhood.I just thought people say because of its dark purple colour, but later searching lot in net, I could find out many "beetroot health benefits" sites which tell the same thing.. I always loved it in pickled form , which is not a healthy option always,didn't like thoran /dry dish, but later found beetroot pachadi is another good form to consume it without losing its nutrients.I have never seen beetroots with leaves here, and tried to plant the stem part chopped from beetroots, but it didn't grow well..
This time, a sweet chutney for a reader Prathibha and all of you cook yummy biryani. This is a biryani side dish, which comes from Malabar side. This recipe is from Mrs.K.M.Mathew, with few changes.
