Flavorful Beets & Shredded Coconut Stir Fry

A simple yet delicious Vegan side dish! For folks looking for meatless, vegetarian options, this is a great dish to try. This Beetroot preparation is an easy option for busy weeknights, flavored with healthy coconut oil and shredded coconut, stir-fried with minimal ingredients. The flavor from the toasted coconut and the fresh beetroot, blend together so well, you’ll be reaching out for more!

My husband and kids devour this beet stir fry. Especially the kids, as it is not spicy for their taste buds and tolerance. As we all know, how nutritious beetroot is. High on benefits, from controlling blood pressure to helping fight cancer cells, the list goes on. They are extremely good for your blood too.

Everything needed to make this dish:

Minimal and healthy ingredients make cooking quick, especially when you know you’re doing your body good!

• Shredded Coconut : For this quick prepapration, we’re using frozen shredded/ grated coconut , which is available in indian grocery stores in the frozen aisle. Alternatively, if you can get your hands on fresh shredded coconut, nothing beats that!
• Oil : Coconut oil , as a good healthy option and flavor wise. You can subtitute it with vegetable oil too.
• Spices : Turmeric powder , known for its good properties is a good addition. We are using Cumin seeds and Mustard seeds for extra flavor.
• Green Chilly: This is optional, i like using 1 or 2 for a mild heat.
• Beetroot : Finally, the glorious beets. Fresh beetroot, peeled and grated.I dont recommend canned or frozen beetroot for this recipe.

What goes well with this?

This simple yet delicious stir fry goes well when paired with rice and lentils like this Spinach and lentils curry. It also pairs well with chicken or any protein dish and rice. Oh yum, my mouth s watering, just writing about it! Another way to pair this flavorful side dish is with warm chapattis or rotis.
