• 1 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 1 cup Coconut milk
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Begin by peeling and chopping the beetroots into small, bite-sized cubes. Set aside.

Step 2

In a large pan, heat the coconut oil over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the cumin seeds and let them sizzle for a minute until they start to pop.

Step 4

Add the finely chopped onions and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they are translucent.

Step 5

Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for another 2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 6

Mix in the ground coriander, turmeric powder, and red chili powder, stirring well to coat the onion mixture.

Step 7

Add the chopped beetroots and tomato paste, stirring to ensure they are coated with the spices.

Step 8

Pour in the coconut milk and salt, and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 9

Cover and cook the curry for 30-35 minutes, or until the beetroots are tender. Stir occasionally and add a little water if the curry gets too thick.

Step 10

Once the beetroots are cooked through, stir in the lemon juice and adjust salt to taste.

Step 11

Garnish with chopped cilantro just before serving.

Step 12

Serve hot with steamed rice or flatbread.
