Beetroot Poriyal Recipe – Beetroot Stir Fry

Beetroot Poriyal Recipe

Hope all are having a great weekend. With mild showers yesterday we are having a nice climate here. And as I type this am waiting for the downpour again πŸ™‚ Have a great weekend!

As a kid I had trouble eating most vegetables and even during that time beetroot was my fav. Mixing it with curd rice to see the pink color was so exciting – hmm…good old memories. We make either beets poriyal or pachadi I like beets in any form but hubby on the other side is not fond of this veggie. But now I’ve a company as mittu likes beets too πŸ™‚

Beetroot Poriyal Recipe

Beetroot Poriyal Recipe – Ingredients

Preparation Time : 15 mins | Cooking Time : 30 mins | Serves : 2
Recipe Category: Side dish | Recipe Cuisine: South Indian

Beetroot – 1 big sized
Big Onion -1 medium sized
Grated Coconut – 3 tbsp
Sambar powder – 1/2 tsp (optional)
Turmeric powder – a generous pinch
Salt – to taste

To Temper:

Oil – 1 tsp
Mustard Seeds – 1 tsp
Urad Dhal – 1/2 tsp
Red Chillies – 2
Curry leaves – few
Hing(Perungayam) – 1/4 tsp

Method:

  1. Wash beetroot, peel off skin and chop it finely. Immerse it in water and wash it once again to get rid of the mud smell if any. Pressure cook beetroot with water( just till immersing level) turmeric powder and salt for 3-4 whistles.

Serve hot with rice and sambar – my favourite combination for lunch.

Beetroot Poriyal Recipe

My Notes:

  • You can skip pressure cooking and cook beets while sauting itself. But I find this method easier as it makes cooking faster.
  • Adding sambar powder is purely optional, you can skip it too but I like the mild flavour of it so we prefer adding it.
  • Amma always adds coconut only after switching off any poriyal as raw coconut is not much of cholesterol she says so using it as raw as much as possible is good.

    I also love adding a little sambar powder to my poriyals.
    Beetroot poriyal goes so well with curd rice, as you said.
    I love it too.

    Lovely.. great source of iron. by the way I thought of asking you a question. Is it not inconvenient to use dosa spoon in kadai (or any other mixing) since the edges will be flat?

    Thanks Sharmi. My family really liked this dish, even my fussy kid. The addition of sambar powder is a really good idea. I did not add any coconut. It was still quite tasty.
