Raw beetroot, round and earthy, with deep red flesh under a dusty skin. It tastes sweet and mineral, and its colour runs into everything it touches. South Indian and Sri Lankan cooks grate it for beetroot poriyal or thoran, cook it in a coconut milk curry, or turn it into a halwa with milk and ghee, and it is good roasted or grated raw into salad.
How to use it
Wash and peel the beetroot; wear gloves if you want to avoid pink fingers. Grate it and stir fry with mustard seeds, urad dal, curry leaves, green chilli and a handful of grated coconut for a quick poriyal. For a Sri Lankan curry, cut it into thin sticks and simmer with onion, garlic, curry powder and coconut milk until tender. Whole beetroot roasts in foil at 200°C in about an hour, after which the skin rubs off easily.
