Beetroot Curry / Beetroot Stir Fry / Beetroot Poriyal

 Stir Fries are easy to make so I often make them at home. This dark pink, flavourful, delicious curry is always a big hit at my home. Beetroot curry is a nutritious curry too. My kids like it without coconut. So for them I make Beetroot Poriyal without coconut !!!

Rice, Sambar / Rasam and any Stir Fries is a great South Indian lunch combo.
