Estee: The recipe you mentioned is similar to my previous post. The only difference is I added sweetcorn. Yeah, I agreed with you. Both the recipes are tasty too.

Tammy: Thanks for sharing your outcome. When I started to cook beetroot, I did encounter this problem. After some experiments, I managed to get rid of this muddy taste by taking the following steps:
a) Choose beetroot that is unblemished, with firm roots. Small to medium beetroots have the sweetest flavour.
b) Scrub and rinse the outer layer of beetroot thoroughly (preferably using a toothbrush) before peeling off its skin.
c) Discard all the roots (including those fine roots if any) that are attached to the beetroot. Only retain the flesh.
Hope it helps.

Peanutts: Yes, the weather is really killing but it gets better these few days. This is the only way my son can accept beetroot. He doesn’t like roasted beetroot.
