Steamed Beet and Red beans curry
About:
Deep pink in colour and retaining that unique beet flavour, this curry makes a stunning addition to curries. Addition of kidney beans, onion and tomatoes tastes like an authentic Rajma Curry. The spices and mint adds flavour to the curry along with ginger and garlic.
I served this with Oats and flaxseed Roti ( recipe link)
Health benefits of beetroot:
Beets are small herbaceous plants with broad dark-green leaves. Although the leaves have always been eaten, historically the beet root was generally used medicinally for a range of ailments, including fevers, constipation and skin problems. More recent health claims suggest beetroot can help lower blood pressure, boost exercise performance and prevent dementia.
