Beetroot Fry – Beetroot Poriyal

November 17, 2016 BeetrootDry SabjiKootu / Poriyal Varieties  2 comments

Beetroot Fry is a simple yet yummy stir fry which I make quite often. I am always in the look of some sabji to pair with roti and dal, which is our usual lunch menu during week days. This Beetroot Fry has a simple twist which makes it suitable for both roti as well as rice. Though am not a big fan of beetroot, Chotu and hubby love it. U can either grate the beetroot or chop it finely like I have done. I personally dont prefer the grating part, Lazy me!!

Now to the recipe..

  • Take the porikadalai in a mixer and grind it into a smooth powder. Add this and the grated coconut to the cooked beetroot. Saute for a few more mins so that all the moisture is absorbed and gets fried a bit. Switch off the flame.

Tips:

  1. U can grate the beetroot or chop it. Grated beetroot gets cooked faster.
  2. U can alternatively steam cook the beetroot first and then fry it. To steam cook – wash, peel, chop roughly into big chunks and steam cook until soft. Cut and use as desired.
  3. U can skip the coconut if u dont prefer.
