Beetroot curry recipe| easy and simple beetroot stir fry recipe – with step-by-step pictures.
Beetroot is one of the vegetables loved by everyone at home. We make curry, pulao, salad using beetroot. After moving to Hongkong, we get beetroot with its greens too. So I started using beetroot greens in my cooking. We can make our regular keerai molagootal or keerai poriyal using beetroot greens.
Usually, it is a little hard to cut the beetroot into fine pieces. Though I make curry by finely chopping the beetroot, I love this easy stir-fry recipe. This just needs grating of the vegetable. Also since it is grated, it gets cooked very fast also.
Also check out my other popular beetroot recipes, beetroot cutlet, beetroot thepla, beetroot chaas, beetroot pulao, and easy beetroot rice.
