Spice up your beets with this Sri Lankan beetroot recipe

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

I’ve gone a little crazy for fresh beetroot. I can’t get enough of the purple stuff. Fresh beetroot is so much better than the beetroot, pickled in vinegar, and packed up in supermarkets. I always thought beetroot had that sour flavour taste. But once I tasted fresh beetroot, there’s no going back, fresh beetroot is sweet yet earthy. And roasted beetroot hummus is a delight. Now I’ve been spicing up my roots with this Sri Lankan beetroot recipe, giving this fabulous root some va-va-voom.

Healthy beets

Beetroot is incredibly healthy, packed with folic acid, a great source of manganese, potassium and fibre. And 100g of fresh beetroot only has 36 calories.

A Sri Lankan beetroot recipe

There are many Sri Lankan and Indian recipes for beetroot. Beetroot thoran is a South Indian dish from Kerela, beetroot sauteed with coconut. In Sri Lanka, beets are simmered in a coconut sauce.

My Sri Lankan recipe for beetroot has my beets roasted and spiced, rolled around in coconut and finished off with a squeeze of lime. This is the recipe I have for you. It’s lip-smackingly, tingly good.

    Beets have high water content. There is also a very low amount of calories. Low-calorie food is good for weight loss. A moderate amount of fibers and protein are also present in beets. It helps to reduce appetite and keeps you full for a long time. So, beets are good for weight loss. You can use it as a weight loss drink

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!​​​​​​​​

I love restaurant interiors. ​​​​​​​ I love restaurant interiors. ​​​​​​​​

When I’m dining out, I’m looking at the interiors as much as what’s on the menu.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
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.​​​​​​​​

Interiors are everything!​​​​​​​​

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.​​​​​​​​

​​​​​​​​
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. ​​​​​​​​
