  • 1 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tomato
  • 1/2 tsp garam masala
  • 1 tsp cumin seeds
  • 1 tsp red chili powder
  • 1/4 tsp turmeric powder
  • 1 tsp coriander powder
  • 1 bay leaf

Instructions

  • Beetroot Kurma, anyone? This vibrant, flavor-packed dish is about to level up your dinner game. Start by pressure cooking finely chopped beetroot and cubed potatoes with a pinch of turmeric and salt—just pop them in a vessel, secure it inside your cooker, and wait for 3-4 whistles of magic.
  • While that's bubbling away, let's multitask!
  • Grab your grinding ingredients: grated coconut, poppy seeds, roasted gram dal, cinnamon stick, cardamom, cloves, and fennel seeds.
  • Toss them into a mixer, add water, and blend until silky smooth.
  • Now, it's tempering time—heat some oil in a pan, toss in a bay leaf for those aromatic vibes, and let cumin seeds sizzle and pop.
  • Enter finely chopped onions; saut until golden and cozy, then add ginger-garlic paste with a pinch of salt to speed up the cooking.
  • When your onions are soft and fragrant, toss in chopped tomatoes, coriander powder, red chili powder, garam masala, and a dash of turmeric.
  • Sprinkle in salt to keep things moving quickly, cover the pan, and let that onion-tomato combo simmer into a rich gravy.
  • By now, your beetroot and potatoes should be cooked and ready to shine.
  • Check your gravy—it's officially lit when the oil starts to peek out. Add in the cooked beetroot and potatoes, giving everything a thorough mix.
  • Next up: the star masala paste. Stir it in and, if things are looking too thick, a splash of water (about ¼ cup) will do the trick.
  • Cover and let it all cook for about 5 minutes on medium heat, allowing the flavors to meld into pure bliss.
  • Finally, garnish with a handful of fresh coriander leaves, and voilà—your appetizing, downright irresistible beetroot kurma is ready!
  • Perfect with fluffy rotis or steaming hot rice, this beetroot kurma recipe is a vibrant addition to your table that'll have everyone asking for seconds.
