How to make a Sri Lankan beetroot curry

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

Before I started to cook with beetroot, and make curries, like this Sri Lankan beetroot curry, beetroot was the vegetable I bought, ready pickled, to be chopped up and thrown into a salad. 

I did on the odd occasion bake a chocolate cake with beetroot. But the kids discovered the beetroot and refused to eat it. No matter how good that chocolate cake was.  I relegated beetroot to role of salad filler.

Now, I love to cook with fresh beetroot. Roasting beetroot, cooking it with spices takes beetroot to another level. Beetroot raita – wow! The fuchsia pink it yields makes any plate of food resplendent and full of joy. And now, I have this most utterly divine Sri Lankan beetroot curry to share with you.

Do you need to peel beetroot?

That’s a personal thing, to peel or not to peel your beetroot. You don’t have to, and it won’t affect your final plate of food. Though, I choose to peel my beetroot. I feel that the peeling of beetroot is a personal matter.

Is cooking with fresh beetroot messy?

Cooking with fresh beetroot is utterly worth it. If your beetroot isn’t fresh you won’t get the full earthiness and sweetness of this vegetable.

Do expect your fingers to turn a violent shade of purple. It’s a small price to pay for the meal. A good scrubbing of your hands will return them to good as new.

Do you need to grate the beetroot for this Sri Lankan beetroot curry?

This recipe calls for your beetroot to be grated, cooked with spices and coconut milk. I use a hand grater, but feel free to pull out your food processor if you have one. Grating makes the beetroot buttery soft. Have patience to allow your beetroot cook until it is melt-in-your-mouth delicious. There’s a dash of vinegar – which just adds a slight tingle to lips.

Personally I think this is perfect to be eaten with a pork curry otherwise I would cook up a mallung, and maybe a little sambol on the side. If you want to keep you meal totally vegetarian or vegan then try awesome recipe for Sri Lankan pineapple curry by Anusha. I think beetroot and pineapple curries are a match made in heaven. And while you’re there, check out the amazing recipes on her blog!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 500g beetroot
  • 2 tbs coconut / vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp mustards seeds
  •  fresh green chilli, deseeded and chopped
  • 10 curry leaves 
  • 1 red onion, sliced
  • 3 cloves of garlic, peeled and finely chopped
  • 2 cms of ginger, peeled and chopped
  • 1 tsp ground coriander
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 2 tbs of apple cider vinegar
  • 200ml of coconut milk
  • Salt
  • Juice of one fresh lime

Instructions

1. Top and tail your beetroot, peel if you want, and grate into a bowl and set aside.

2. Heat the oil in a frying pan then add the mustard seeds, chilli and curry leaves.

3. Add the onion, garlic and ginger. Cook the onions until they are soft and start to turn translucent.

4. Now add the beetroot, ground coriander, sugar and vinegar. Stir into the onions and spices. Cook until the beetroot starts to soften, around seven minutes.

5. Pour in the coconut milk mix into the beetroot, cover the pan, lower the heat and allow to the beetroot to cook until the beetroot is soft and tender.  

6. Check that the beetroot doesn’t dry out – if it does add a little water. Also taste and add a little salt.

7. Just before you take the beetroot off the heat stir in the juice of the lime. And serve.

8. I love serving this with a good pork curry, why not check out my Sri Lankan black pork curry a perfect partner for this beetroot curry.

 


Notes

  • I like to cook this in a frying pan, and it does help to have one with a lid
  • Be patient with this recipe, it can take time for the beetroot to cook fully. You know when it will be done as the beetroot doesn’t have any bite. It should be soft and tender.

These 'beans' look like something out of a fairy t These 'beans' look like something out of a fairy tale. I mean what are they? If I throw them into the garden will I have a giant beanstalk outside my house tomorrow?​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
No,​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
These are in fact Jackfruit seeds, which can, once the pearl-like casing has been scraped, reveal a dark-marbled, chestnut-coloured seed that once prepared can be made into a curry.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
I first tasted jack seed curry at my aunt's house in Madras. I'd never heard of this before. I remember loving it, scraping every last morsel off my plate.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
When I returned to England, my Dad tried to recreate it, but it wasn't the same. Life carried on and I forgot about this curry.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Until recently when I was in my local Indian grocery store. ​​​​​​​​
In Tooting, I am lucky to have quite a few to choose from. This is where I found these jackfruit seeds. And the distant memories of that fabled jackfruit seed curry came back.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
This has set me off on a mission to create a recipe to cook with these seeds. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
I've been looking at wet coconut milk-based curries and dry curries like thoran, a South Indian stir-fried vegetable curry with spices and coconut.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Either way, I know it will be delicious!​​​​​​​​

Quirky furniture, a cool marble bar, vintage glassware I’m always paying attention to the little details details.​​​​​​​​

A while back we had lunch at @bardouro a small  Portuguese tapas bar tucked away down the road away from the hoipolloi  of Borough Market. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
We perched on our seats, ate our way through salt cod fritters, the juiciest of prawns, melt in your mouth ox cheeks. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
The food was fabulous, but what stole the show was the beautiful blue and white tiles, which for the duration of my meal, had me believing I was in Lisbon, not cold frosty London.​​​​​​​​

If like me you have the latest best-selling Sri La If like me you have the latest best-selling Sri Lankan cookbook Rambutan by the fantastic @cynthia.uma you'll know how this chap is feeling...I mean who can't wait for her soon-to-be restaurant in Borough to open?​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
The last few years have been great for the Sri Lankan food scene. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
With a slew of upmarket restaurants opening, street food stalls popping up across the country, and supper clubs where you can sample good, honest, authentic home-style cooking. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
This is a far cry from when I was growing up. If you wanted to dine out on Sri Lankan food, you had to travel to the ends of the tube line to find little cafes run by the Sri Lankan diaspora. The food was always and still is great. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
But now....Sri Lankan food is almost mainstream, and that's got to be a good thing!​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Good luck @cynthia.uma I'm rooting for you! And wishing you the best of luck with this amazing venture! ​​​​​​​​

The colours and freshness, it is sunshine on a plate. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Winter salads remind us that the wet and the cold will be gone. ​​​​​​​​

In a few weeks, daffodils and tulips will start poking their green shoots out of the soil, and we will soon start to feel the gentle warmth of the spring sunshine. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
I made this @ottolenghi recipe using winter tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, red onions, and a simple tart dressing of olive oil, white wine vinegar and sumac, toasted pinenuts and a little basil. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Go on, treat yourself, make a winter salad and put some sunshine on your plate.​​​​​​​​

Winter tomatoes, like some in this haul spring to mind. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Perfect for winter salads, slow-roasted into confit and stored in jars called upon when need to be slathered on crusty sourdough bread or mixed into pasta.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Add a few fresh tomatoes to soups and stews for richness and flavour.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
The possibilities are endless. ​​​​​​​​
