- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Mustard seeds
- 10 leaves Curry leaves

Instructions
Wash the beetroot thoroughly. Peel off the skin and grate them using a grater. Set aside.
In a small blender jar, add grated coconut, cumin seeds, and green chilies. Pulse briefly to combine, keeping it coarse. Set aside.

Add curry leaves and finely chopped shallots to the pan. Sauté until the shallots become translucent.
Add the grated beetroot to the pan, stirring well to combine with the shallots and curry leaves.
Sprinkle turmeric powder and salt over the beetroot. Mix well and cover the pan. Allow it to cook on low heat for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Mix everything thoroughly and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the flavors are well blended.
Turn off the heat and serve the beetroot thoran warm with steamed rice or as a side dish.
