Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • - 2 medium beetroots peeled and diced (approximately 2 cups)
  • - 2 cups fresh spinach 60g, washed and roughly chopped
  • - 1 large onion finely chopped
  • - 2 cloves garlic minced
  • - 1-inch ginger grated
  • - 2 tablespoons olive oil 30ml
  • - 1 can 400g of coconut milk
  • - 1 tablespoon curry powder
  • - 1 teaspoon turmeric
  • - 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
  • - 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
  • - 1 red chili finely chopped (optional for added spice)
  • - Salt to taste
  • - Fresh cilantro coriander, for garnish

Method
 

  1. Start by heating the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Once hot, add the cumin and mustard seeds, allowing them to sizzle for about a minute.
  2. Introduce the finely chopped onion to the pan, sautéing until translucent, which should take around 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger. Cook for another 2 minutes until aromatic.
  4. Incorporate the Vegan Beetroot and Spinach Curry's star ingredients: the beetroot and spinach. Sauté for an additional 5 minutes, letting the beets soften slightly.
  5. Season with curry powder, turmeric, and the optional red chili if you fancy some heat.
  6. Pour in the coconut milk, giving the mixture a good stir.
  7. Reduce the heat, letting your Vegan Beetroot and Spinach Curry simmer for about 20 minutes. This allows all those wonderful flavors to meld together.
  8. Check and adjust salt according to your preference.
  9. Once cooked, remove from heat and garnish with fresh cilantro.

Notes

1. For an even richer taste, consider roasting the beets beforehand. This adds depth to their earthy flavor.
2. Fresh spinach works best in this Vegan Beetroot and Spinach Curry, but frozen can be used as a quick alternative.
3. If you don't have fresh chili, a teaspoon of chili flakes can do the trick!
