  • 2 Cups chopped Beetroot
  • 2 tablespoon Coconut Oil (1)
  • ¼ teaspoon Mustard seeds
  • ½ tablespoon Channa Dal
  • 1 teaspoon Urad Dal
  • Few curry leaves, washed and torn
  • ¼ teaspoon Asafoetida
  • 2 Red Chillies 
  • Salt as per taste
  • 2 teaspoon Curry powder 
Instructions

  2. Then add the red chillies, curry leaves; give a quick stir.
  3. Add the channa dal and then the urad dal.

  6. Finally just before switching off the flame; add curry powder. Give a quick stir and turn off. 

Notes

  1. Coconut oil enhances the flavour of this dish, especially if you add coconut to the kari. If for any reasons you don't use it or have it, substitute with regular cooking oil. 
  2. Alternately you can cook the beetroot and then add it. You can also check here for easy way to prep a beet.
