Beetroot stir-fry with fresh coconut a.k.a Beetroot Thoran.
Red beet or garden beet is cooked with coconut and green chilly....perfect combination with hot steaming rice.
A vegan side dish with rice.....a healthy vegetarian dish.
I make this thoran with the help of my food processor to mince the beets; you can also grate the beets or chop them with a knife....
Ingredients:
Beetroot: 1/2 kg or 2 medium size
Green chilly: 2 or 3.
Onion: 1/2 (or if using shallots 3 or 4).
Freshly grated coconut: About 3/4 cup.
Garlic: 2 cloves.
Turmeric: 1/4 tsp.
Coconut oil:1 tbsp.
Whole red chilly: 2, broken
Mustard seeds: 1/2 tsp.
Curry leaves.
Salt to taste.
Little water.
Method:
Cut the beets.
Then chop the coarsely.
Put into the food processor.
And give it a blitz.
Now add the coconut, green chilly, turmeric powder, salt, and onion...again blitz for a minute.
Heat 1 tbsp of coconut oil in a pan, add 1/2 tsp mustard seeds, curry leaves, and 2 whole red chillies..
Add the minced beets....add little water and scrape all into the pan. Cover and cook for 3 to 4 minutes or until done.
Healthy Beetroot Thoran is Ready......Serve With Rice.
