Yesterday I found that few beetroots were lying in the
fridge. I usually avoid to use beetroot in any recipe; because when I
cut the beetroot, it would mess around my hand (in actual fact all my 10
fingers). :-) ..aaaahhh.
But I had to empty old beets. I started searching recipes for my
"poor" beetroot, and one recipe really caught my attention...that is
"Beetroot Sasam".Ingredients:
1 medium
size beetroot (finely chopped)
1 cup of
think white curd
½ cup of
grated coconut
2 tsp of
mustard seeds
½ tsp of
turmeric powder
2 green
chilies
2 dried red
chili
2 tbsp of
white oil (you can also use mustard oil)
Method:
1. Hope you
are ready with finely chopped beetroot. Take them in a pot and add some water
to boil. Cover the pot with a lit and leave it to boil for few minutes. It
would take 5-7 minutes.
2. Meanwhile
you start with other jobs. Pour oil in a seasoning pan and heat it. Add green chilies
to fry slightly. Did you find white spot
on the chilies? If yes, remove them from the heat.
3. Now check
if those beetroot pieces become soft or not. If they got soft and tender,
remove them from heat and allow them to cool down. Once they
would get cool, you have to remove water from it.
4. Take grated
coconut, mustard seed, turmeric powder, fried green chilies in mixer grinder
and add 2 spoonful of water. Now make it to a fine paste.
5. Is your paste
ready? Now take curd in bowl and add this paste to curd. Mix it very well.
6. Take your
pan in the oven. Heat oil and add mustard seeds. Wait for few moments to let
the mustard seeds splutter. Add red chili to it.
7. Pour all
the beetroot pieces to the curd-coconut mixture. Mix it well. Now allow it to boil
and keep stirring occasionally. And remove Beetroot from the heat after 5-7
minutes.
8. Serve it
with rice. And for a suggestion include some amount of lentil when you are
serving to your loved ones.
