Instructions

1. Mix the beetroot well with the green chilli, curry powder, salt, sugar, garlic and turmeric and let it steep. Gladly also 2 - 3 hours, if time allows.
2. Fry the onions in the hot oil until golden brown. Add the cinnamon stick, cardamom, and cloves and fry until the spices are fragrant. Add the curry leaves (if available). Mix in the beetroot and deglaze with half of the coconut milk.
3. Simmer in an open pot for about 10-15 minutes, until the beetroot is cooked through and the coconut milk has boiled down. Add the rest of the coconut milk, season to taste and bring to the boil again.
4. Tip:
5. Fresh curry leaves are difficult to obtain in Germany. In my opinion, the dried leaves are not an alternative. So just leave it out. The dish also tastes so good.
