A gentle reminder to all of you to send in your entries to RCI - Cuisine of Kerala by January 25th. Please remember to send the link to the entry you are sending in and a picture of the dish. Late entries shall not be entertained, but you can link your post to the round-up which will happen by the month end. My final entry to RCI - Cuisine of Kerala is a beetroot thoran. I was hoping to post more interesting recipes for the event but got too busy then. This recipe is here simply for the lovely colour beetroot imparts - wild and pink!
You need:
1 large beetroot boiled and grated
3 tbsp coconut grated
1 onion minced
2 green chillies minced
1 tsp mustard seeds
a sprig of curry leaves
juice of half a lime
Heat a tbsp of oil in pan. Add the mustard seeds and let it crackle. Add the onion, green chillies and curry leaves and sautee till the onion is translucent. Then add the beetroot and coconut, mix well and allow it to cook for 2-3 minutes. Add the lime juice and stir. That's all. Can it get quicker than this?

I love this thoran especially with mor kuzhambu. Looks so good.
I love beetroot as well. Yummy, making me slurp over all that beetroot. Typically make mor kozhambu or poondu rasam with it :)
