Love your website!!! Thought I should share this since I am super lazy I figured out an easy way to cook beetroot kura. I cut off both ends and peel the beetroot, then wash and microwave the beetroot for about 4-5 mins. Let it cool down, slice and cube (smaller the cubes the better). Then I add to the seasoning and cook for 8 mins.

Hi,
Just curious but why do all of your recipes call for peanut oil. What about cooking in say olive oil or canola oil. Is peanut oil more healthy?

Hello. What an amazing repertoire of recipes classified by ingredients!!! I love it. Just to add my two cents, have you ever tried roasting the beets. Just wash the beets, don’t peel them, put them in a pan covered with aluminum foil in an oven 400F for 45min-1 hr. Let beets cool, then use a paper towel to rub off the skins of the beets. Cut and season with ghee, salt and pepper. The roasting brings out the natural sweetness of the beets very nicely.

No problem. You have to make sure you wash the leaves pretty well because they sometimes have a bit of dirt on them. Also, the stems are a little hard. I usually just use the leafy part. It’s great because this way you get two curries for the price of one when you buy beets.

Thanks for the tips, Amy.:)

I recently discovered that beet leaves are actually more nutritious than beets themselves. So, I decided to make dal with them (just like spinach dal w/ beet leaves instead) and it turned out great! Plus, I didn’t feel so guilty throwing away all of those beautiful leaves.

Indira replies:
I’ve read some recipes with beetroot leaves, mainly in salads in other foodbloggers blogs. Your idea of making a dal is really neat. I am going to take your word and I’ll certainly give it a try. Thanks for sharing Amy.

I can suggest one more addition to the same curry. Sprinkle some poppy seeds on the curry 2-3 minutes before finishing. The combination of beetroot with poppy is something I like a lot. Learnt from my Mom .
