Beetroot

Beetroot, also known as beetroot or beetroot, is commonly grown in southern Germany, Switzerland and Austria. It is a popular “superfood” with a lot of nutritional value. Beetroot is eaten mainly in pickles, but it is also more commonly baked in the oven or served as a delicious vegetable curry. As kids, we didn’t care about the nutritional value or popularity of beets. It was a little sweet and very tasty. We loved this beetroot color. I think even the pickiest of eaters would devour the rice if served with beetroot curry.

Prepare beetroot carrot curry

First wash the beets. Then cut off the root and leaves. If you bought beetroot with leaves, don’t throw away the leaves. You can prepare other side dishes with the leaves. Or use the leaves cut into fine strips as a topping for the finished curry.
Next, peel the beets.
I’ve tried slicing the beets with a mandolin before, but the beets are just too firm, which the mandolin doesn’t like. Do not cut the beetroot into small cubes, because in this beetroot curry, like the carrot, they should have an “al dente” texture. I’d rather slice them too thick than boil them down into a mushy mush.
So cut the beets into slices and then cut them into even cubes. I always use a sharp knife for this as it gives me better control over cutting evenly sized pieces. Like the carrots, if you think this is too much work, you can simply cut the beets into thicker sections. The main thing is just to make sure the beetroot pieces and carrot pieces are roughly similar in size and thickness so that they cook evenly.

Prepare beetroot carrot curry

Preparing and slicing the beets is the hardest part. Preparing the beetroot curry is the easiest.

I like to lightly toast the spices so they can release their flavors. I only use cumin and turmeric in this curry to add flavor. Just add salt and cayenne pepper for seasoning. For a mild spiciness I add a green chili pepper.

The beetroot is cooked in coconut milk, which gives the curry sauce creaminess, sweetness and also this beautiful deep pink, almost red color!

The cooking time depends on how you cut the vegetables. The way I cut it (cubes 1×1 cm), it only takes about 15-20 minutes for the beetroot and carrot to be perfectly cooked. Larger pieces will take a little longer. I prefer to cook with a little less liquid at the beginning and only add liquid towards the end if needed. Too much liquid at the beginning dilutes the flavors in the curry too much for me.

The result is a healthy, flavorful, and comforting curry that pairs well with steamed rice and other side dishes.
