Beetroot Stir Fry

Beetroot Fry / Mizhukku puratti

Beetroot apart from thoran I don’t try any other recipe, but recently had a halt @ my friend’s dining table on our way back from coorg hills and she prepared beetroot mizhukku puratti for our lunch. It was scrumptious! I tried and the way cooked is healthy, less oily and spicy.

Ingredients:

Beetroot – 1 medium size

Potato – 1 medium size

Shallots/small onions – 3

Green chillies – 2

Coconut Oil – as required

Salt – to taste

Curry leaves – a sprig

Pepper powder - optional

Method:

Slice the first four items length wise and keep aside - Pressure cook beetroot and potato with a pinch of salt for few minutes. 

Heat oil in a wok - add shallots, green chillies and fry till it turns light brown. Mix the cooked beetroot and potato to it, toss both sides - drizzle oil lightly and close the lid for 2 minutes on medium flame.

Serve with rice and sambar or rice and moru curry, a perfect combination!

Note: Potato is a secondary veggie – you can add carrot or chow chow or yam, it depends on your taste J.
