Indian-style Beets Recipe fallingup
- 2-3 large beets
- 1/2 teaspoon black mustard seeds
- 10 green curry leaves
- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1/2 teaspoon red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Steam, boil, or pressure-cook the beets until they are almost cooked.
- The exact cooking time will vary based on your method.
- The objective is to cook the beets until they are easy to cut, but still firm.
- If youre wearing white clothes, now is a good time to change out of them.
- Let the cooked beets cool, then peel and dice them.
- 1/2" square is a good size.
- Place a wide nonstick pan over medium to high heat.
- Add olive oil.
- When oil is hot, add mustard seeds and curry leaves.
- Toast for 30 seconds.
- Be careful as both of these ingredients pop in hot oil and also burn easily.
- Add beets and reduce heat to medium.
- Season with turmeric, then cover and cook for 5-10 minutes.
- Uncover and season with salt and chili powder.
- Continue to cook, uncovered, for 5-10 more minutes, stirring occasionally so the beets dont stick.
- When the beets are sufficiently tender, remove from heat, discard curry leaves, and serve.
