Peel and grate the beetroots using a box grater or food processor. Set aside.
Finely chop the onion, crush the garlic, and grate the ginger. Prepare these ingredients ahead of time for smooth cooking.
In a large pan, heat the coconut oil over medium heat. Add the mustard seeds and cumin seeds, and allow them to sizzle until they begin to pop, about 30 seconds.
Add the chopped onion to the pan and sauté until it becomes translucent, approximately 5 minutes.
Stir in the garlic and ginger, cooking for another 2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the grated beetroot to the pan and mix well. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring often.
Sprinkle the turmeric powder, coriander powder, and red chili powder over the mixture. Stir to ensure the spices coat the beetroot evenly.
Pour in the coconut milk and water, stirring to combine all ingredients. Bring the mixture to a boil.
Once it reaches a boil, reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and let it simmer for about 25-30 minutes, or until the beetroot is tender and the flavors are well integrated.
Season the curry with salt to taste, adjusting as needed.
Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro before serving.
Serve hot with plain rice or warm naan to enjoy the flavors fully.
