Beetroot & Moog dal curry

Hi Viewers

Today I am sharing  a simple recipe with beetroot which is BEETROOT CURRY WITH COMBINATION OF MOOG DAL Because of the color and taste, most of us do not like this curry. But it is good for health and has beautiful deep pink color and has natural little sweetness.



Try to make this beetroot curry once in a week. OK. Let us go to prepare.

Ingredients
  • Beetroot                           1/4 kg
  • Moog dal                          fist
  • Onion                               1Choped finely
  • Garlic                               5 to 6 thinly sliced
  • Oil
  • Salt to taste
For popu
  • Mustard seeds
  • Dry red mirchi                2 ( make pieces)
  • Cumin seeds
  • Curry leaves
  • Turmeric powder
How I did  it    
  1. Soak moog dal for 2 to 3 hours.
  2. Wash and peel the skin of beetroot.
  3. Grate beetroot finely with grater.
  4. Take wok add little oil and let it heat. Keep the medium heat.
  5. Throw mustard seeds. Let them splitter.
  6. Then add cumin seeds, red chilli pieces, garlic, curry leaves and turmeric powder.
  7. Add chopped onion, saute until transparent.
  8. Add grated beetroot. Cover and cook on low flame stirring from time to time.
  9. Stir fry till beetroot becomes soft.
  10. Then add salt and soaked moog dal (drain the water)
  11. Mix well and cook for 2 to 3 minutes.
  12. Switch off the stove.
  13. Transfer in to a bowl.

Colorful side dish would be ready to serve. It goes well with plain rice and roti. This is simple meal with sambar or rasam.

My Note

  1. You can use tur dal instead of moog dal.
  2. You can also prepare without dals and sprinkle fresh grated coconut instead.
