Instructions

9 steps

  1. Prepare Ingredients

    Peel and dice the beetroots, finely chop the onion, and mince the garlic and ginger.

    Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor.
  2. Heat Oil

    In a large pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat.

    Ensure the oil is hot before adding the onion.
  3. Sauté Onions

    Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.

    Stir frequently to prevent burning.
  4. Add Garlic and Ginger

    Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for another 2 minutes.

    This will enhance the aroma of the dish.
  5. Incorporate Spices

    Add the curry powder, turmeric, and salt. Stir well to combine.

    Toast the spices for a minute to release their flavors.
  6. Add Beetroots

    Mix in the diced beetroots and stir to coat them with the spice mixture.

    Ensure even distribution for consistent cooking.
  7. Pour Coconut Milk

    Add the coconut milk and stir well. Bring to a simmer.

    Adjust the heat to avoid boiling over.
  8. Simmer

    Cover the pan and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes until the beetroots are tender.

    Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  9. Garnish and Serve

    Once cooked, garnish with fresh cilantro and serve hot.
