Beetroot is great. It’s earthy, healthy and sweet. But honestly, I only know 2 simple ways to cook it. I learned how to cook simple stir fried beetroot with mustard seeds and curry leave from my in-law side of the family. I find it to be very light and fresh. And it’s perfect to have with rice and spicy meat stew. I already posted that recipe here. But the beetroot dish that I really love is stir fried beetroot with eggs. I know some of you might think it’s strange. But trust me, it works wonderfully.

For some reason, when the shredded beetroot is cooked in a hot greasy pan, it turns soft and slightly chewy. In my opinion, its texture is almost like the texture of shredded pickled radish. Although it’s a lot sweeter, but when it’s mixed with eggs, garlic and light soy sauce, the flavor becomes subtle and humble. This can be served with rice. I can honestly say that I always feel absolutely satisfy when I eat this beetroot with eggs because not only it tastes so good, I know the dish is loaded with wonderful nutrients. So healthy and so good.
