Beetroot sabzi recipe with step by step photos. Simple, homely and healthy dry beetroot curry recipe prepared in South Indian style.
Carrots and beetroots often make an appearance in our menu. I always buy both these root veggies and make simple stir fries or add them in pulao or mix veg dishes. During winters, I prepare carrot halwa and on occasions beetroot halwa too.
This beetroot bhaji has the sweetness of beetroots and coconut along with some heat Coming from the green chilies & dry red chilies. The spices added also contribute their own flavors.
Beetroots are rich in iron, calcium and minerals and there are various ways you can include them in your meals. Using the same recipe, you can even make carrot bhaji. Few more Beetroot recipes that I have already shared are:
Beetroot poriyal
Beetroot thoran
Beetroot carrot poriyal
To prepare this easy beetroot bhaji recipe, I have boiled the beetroots. since the beetroot is boiled, the bhaji takes very less time to cook. this bhaji tastes delicious and is a regular at home.
Beetroot sabzi goes well as a side dish with dal-rice, rasam-rice and even dishes like khichdi. You can also serve it as a side dish with chapatis.

Notes
Few tips for making beetroot sabzi
You could use raw beetroot also for this recipe. But it will take a longer time to cook.
If using raw beets, then finely chop or grate them. Add some water to them while cooking. Cover and cook them.
If you don't have fresh coconut then use desiccated coconut. Desiccated coconut also tastes good in the beetroot dry curry.
