    Beetroot Curry/Stir-fry

    Jun 3, 2013 · Modified: Dec 20, 2020 by Priya_Srinivasan ·

    Today’s Color theme : Pink, i give you a simple and delicious stir-fry of beets. Beets Stir-fry, this post is long overdue. These Pink beauties are full of health benefits, they contain fiber and potassium and is an excellent source of fol-ate. 
    According to Wiki : Beetroot is a rich source of potent antioxidants and nutrients, including magnesium, sodium, potassium and vitamin C., and betaine, which functions by acting with other nutrients to reduce the concentration of homocysteine, which has been suggested to be harmful to blood vessels and thus contribute to the development of heart disease, stroke, and peripheral vascular disease.
    I know kids don’t prefer this veggie, i normally hide this with Dal and Rasam to feed my kiddo, but with a bright color like this , it is hard to hide and with so much nutrients it is ever harder to avoid.
    Ingredients
    3 Medium Size Beetroots
    3 tablespoon Freshly grated coconut
    Salt to taste

    Tempering
    1-2 teaspoon Oil
    ½ teaspoon Mustard seeds
    3 nos Red Chilies, i used long variety broken into 2
    2 Sprigs of curry leaves
    Hing/Asafoetida, Turmeric each a pinch

    Method
    • Peel the Beertoots and Chop them  into roundels first. Then cut each roundel into small cubes.
    • Heat Oil given under “Tempering” in a pan splutter mustard seeds,broken red chilies, curry leaves, hing and turmeric.
    • Once the leaves turn a bit crisp, add the chopped beetroots and saute for a minute or two.
    • Add freshly grated coconut and a Cup of water. Add salt and mix well.
    • Cover and Cook for 12-15 minutes or until the beetroot is cooked. It will take a bit longer for the beets to cook, so be a little patient.
    • Once Cooked, remove the cover and cook until all the moisture is absorbed and the curry/subzi is Dry.
    • Serve it Warm with Rice, goes well with a Tangy gravy and Rice.

      This is my favorite way of preparing beetroot. Love it. I too thought for a long time when I posted this on the blog, but even though it is simple, this is such a healthy and tasty side dish. Wonderful

      A very colourful and kid-approved dish. I make it this way too, except that I grind the coconut with some green chillies for an extra kick.

      I've never combined beets with coconut but the natural sweetness of both must be a fab combo

      I love beetroot curry and this is my favorite version of it. I have mentioned in my space, that you could pressure cook the whole beets and then chop them. This way it is very easy to chop the beets and it is also very quick to saute. Love the bright pink color that you captured 🙂

      I feel it is an under rated vegetable in the northern part of India. Wish everyone reads this one 🙂
