Though this curry has other veggies too, we call this beetroot
curry since beetroot dominates and is the differentiating factor in this mixed
veg curry. It also gives its unique red colour to this curry.
We have already seen the huge benefits that beetroot gives us in this earlier post on beetroot pachadi.
So let’s straight away get into the preparation of this curry.
Beetroot - 1 no.
Carrot - 2 nos.
Tomato - 1 no
Potato - 2nos.
Onion - 2 nos.
Turmeric powder - 1 teaspoon
Chilly powder - 1/4 teaspoon
Green chilly - 2 nos.
Pepper powder - 1 teaspoon
Coriander powder - 1/2 teaspoon
Curry leaves - 4-6 nos.
Dry Red chillies - 2 nos.
Salt to taste
Process:
Chop the Beetroot, Carrot, and Potato into small cubes of equal
size (around 1.5 cms) and keep it aside. Chop the Tomato and onion into small pieces
and keep them aside.
Take a frying pan and pour 2 tablespoons oil into it. Once the
oil is hot, put 1 teaspoon mustard. Wait till the mustard splutters. Once the
mustard splutters, break and add the dry red chillies into it and mix for it to
get fried. After that add the curry
leaves and onions into the pan. Add salt to the onions while sautéing since
this speeds up the process.
Sauté till
the chopped onions turn brown
Put the chopped tomatoes into the pan; allow the tomatoes also
to get fried.
Once the tomatoes are sautéed,
add the chopped beetroot, carrots and potatoes into the pan. Add turmeric
powder, chilly powder, pepper powder and coriander powder. Also, cut the green
chillies vertically and add to the pan. Sprinkle a handful of water and mix well.
Close the pan with the lid.
After around 10 minutes, open the lid and check whether the
vegetables are cooked. The beetroot takes the longest to cook, hence check if
the beetroot has got cooked or not.
If cooked, stir well and leave it for few minutes in the frying
pan for it to get little fried. This enhances the taste to a very great extent.
Serves 4-5 members. It is a very good
side dish for chapattis and a healthy one too.
