Method

  1. Heat the oil in a large lidded pan, stir in the onions and cook for 8 mins until soft. Tip in the mustard seeds and cook for 1 min until toasted. Stir through the curry paste and sizzle for 3 mins.
  2. Mix the beetroot through the spicy onions, then add the chilli, tomatoes and 2 cans of water. Cover and simmer for 30 mins, stirring occasionally, until the beetroot is tender. Remove the lid, turn up the heat and cook until the sauce is thick.
  3. Take off the heat, then stir through the almonds, yogurt and some seasoning. Top with yogurt and serve with basmati rice, if you like.

    This was nice, but if I made it again I would chop the beetroot smaller and boil the liquid down a bit more. It took longer to cook that 30 minutes because of the size of the beetroot slices. I used Korma paste and missed out the chilli.

    I really like this recipe. You only need one can of water and I also substituted the curry paste with hot curry powder, but the results were fantastic - it had a unique taste that was rich, earthy and moreish. This has become a regular recipe when I have a beetroot glut - a much more interesting way to use it up than endless salads!
