Like a lot of other vegetables Beetroot with its natural bright color is very nutritious.I picked up some fresh beetroot from the grocery store,they seemed quite irresistible,to a beetroot lover like me.Here I have made a very simple beetroot stir fry that goes along well as a side dish or just mixed with some plain rice.
Ingredients - Serves 2
2 beetroots peeled and chopped/grated
1 small onion finely chopped
3-4 hot green chillies finely chopped
2 cloves garlic grated
1 sprig curry leaves
1 tsp urad dal
1/2 tsp mustard and cumin seeds each
1/4 tsp turmeric powder
1-2 tbsp oil
Salt as per taste
Method
Add salt to the beetroot and steam till it turns soft and set aside.Heat oil in a pan add urad dal,mustard and cumin seeds when the mustard seeds pop add curry leaves,green chillies,onions,garlic,turmeric,salt for the onions and stir fry till onions turn golden.Add beetroot and stir.Cover for a few mins and stir to blend well.Add 3 tbsp shredded coconut if preferred.If you grate the beetroot skip the steaming part.Enjoy with some rice.
