Beetroot Poriyal Recipe, South Indian Beetroot Poriyal

May 6, 2015 by Gopi Patel Leave a Comment

Beetroot Poriyal Recipe – A delicious South Indian side dish of stir-fried beetroot with freshly grated coconut.

After a long time I am sharing a south indian poriyal recipe. That’s because lately I have not been cooking poriyals that often. Our most loved south indian dishes are sambar rice and sambar / dosa. Every weekend we have sambar and rice for sure. Mostly saturday is booked for a traditional gujju one pot dish dal dhokli and on sunday we have sambar rice. So it seems I have not been cooking poriyals lately.

The other day I went to buy veggies from local grocery and found these beetroots that were firm and hard. I guess the soft ones are not fresh. I always try to pick the hard ones which remains fresh for long as they have longer shelf life. Anyways so I make a lot of dishes using beetroot. Normally we just cut the beetroot and eat it as salad in afternoon lunch. Also I make beetroot raita that goes really well with phulka and sabzi. And then it clicked me that I haven’t made poriyal so lets make south indian beetroot poriyal today.

Poriyals are nothing but South Indian side dish that is made in no time by quickly stir-frying vegetables in tempered spices and garnished with fresh grated coconut. In a typical South Indian meal you will definitely find a poriyal dish. The most common ones are potato poriyal and cabbage poriyal. Poriyal dish goes really well with different Rice preparations.
