    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. 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.

    Ingredients

    • 1 big sized beetroot
    • 1 medium sized big onion
    • 3 tbsp coconut grated
    • 1/2 tsp sambar powder optional
    • a generous pinch turmeric powder
    • salt to taste

    To Temper:

    • 1 tsp oil
    • 1 tsp mustard seeds
    • 1/2 tsp urad dal
    • 2 red chillies
    • few curry leaves
    • 1/4 tsp hing / perungayam

    Instructions

    • 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.
    • Heat oil in a kadai – Add the items listed under ‘to temper’.
    • Add onion and fry till it gets slightly browned.
    • Then add cooked beets.
    • Once the moisture is absorbed, add sambar powder and salt.
    • Then add grated coconut, give a quick stir and switch off.
    • Serve Beetroot Poriyal hot with rice and sambar!

    Notes

    • You can skip pressure cooking and cook beets while sauteing 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.

    Expert Tips

    • 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.

      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.
