Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium beetroots
- 1 large onion
- 2 medium tomatoes
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1 inch piece ginger
- 1 green chili
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 2 teaspoons coriander powder
- 1 teaspoon garam masala
- 1.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 cup water
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
Instructions
Wash the beetroots thoroughly, peel them, and cut into small cubes.
Finely chop the onion, tomatoes, garlic, ginger, and green chili.
Heat vegetable oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add mustard seeds and cumin seeds and let them sizzle for a few seconds until fragrant.
Add the chopped onions to the pan and sauté until they become translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the garlic, ginger, and green chili, and cook for another minute until aromatic.
Add the tomatoes and cook until they soften and the oil begins to separate from the mixture, about 5 minutes.
Stir in turmeric powder, coriander powder, and salt. Mix well to combine.
Add the cubed beetroots to the pan and stir to coat them with the spice mixture.
Pour in the water, cover the pan, and simmer for 20 minutes or until the beetroots are tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Once the beets are cooked, add coconut milk and garam masala. Mix well and allow the curry to heat through for 5 minutes.
Taste and adjust salt if necessary.
Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
Serve hot with steamed rice or your choice of flatbreads.
