Beetroot Palya Recipe

SwayamPaaka, April 14, 2016November 17, 2016

Beetroot palya or Beets Curry is a very easy and delicious way of incorporating beets and the beet greens. Beet Greens have more nutritional value than the beets, especially Vitamin K and Iron. My local farmers market is my favorite place to shop for beets with greens. Checkout your farmers market for organic beets with greens. When you shop for beets next time, make sure you get the beet greens along with the beetroot.

Ingredients:

  • 1 bunch organic beets along with greens (3 small beetroot)
  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • 3/4 teaspoon mustard seeds
  • 1 TBSP urad dal
  • 2 red / green chillies (cut in the middle)
  • 1/4 cup fresh/frozen coconut
  • ½ cup water
  • ½ to ¾ tsp salt

Method:

Watch video for tips and instructions in Kannada

  1. Wash and chop the beets and greens – use the red stem as well.
  2. Heat the oil in a pan on medium heat.
  3. Once the oil is hot enough, add mustard seeds. Let it pop.
  4. Now add urad dal and fry it until they turn golden brown.
  5. Add green chillies.
  6. Then add chopped greens and beets along with salt, curry leaves, and water.
  7. Mix well, cover it with a lid, and let it cook until the beets become tender and the water evaporates.
  8. It will take around 10 minutes on medium heat.
  9. Finally, add coconut, mix well, and turn off the heat.
  10. Healthy beetroot curry is ready to eat. Enjoy the curry as a side dish along with rotti, rotis, rasam and sambar rice.

Note:

  • Beet Greens have comparatively higher level of oxalates. If you are prone to Kidney stones, avoid greens and vegetables that have high oxalates.
