Sri Lankan Beetroot Curry
This is a simple and easy Beetroot curry from Sri Lanka.If you look for beet recipes,I am sure this recipe will give you a hint of coking beets in a curry dish.I cook beetroot in this method when I am in a hurry to cook. When it is cooked in thick coconut milk as a dry curry, it tastes much and well goes with plain rice. I really like to add the leaves of the beet to the curry. But most of the time I can’t find beetroots with the leaves.
Sri Lankan Beetroot Curry
Usually in Sri Lankan cuisine, we can find different method of cooking the same vegetable simply by changing an ingredient or by simple change to the method of cooking. Earlier I shared another beetroot recipe which I tempered onions and other ingredients. If you like to try different recipes with the same vegetables, try this too. And don’t forget to tell me how the outcome is…
Anyway,without much talking, here is the simple recipe for Beetroot curry.Hope you will like it.
