So satisfying! Yummilicious!! 🙂
I have made several attempts at creating new recipes with beetroot for quite some time but nothing really developed the way I wanted it to be.
I wanted some WOW factor in my recipe with beetroot so that my family easily eats this iron rich veggie.
It is said that we should make our meals colorful so that can consume all types of nutrition. Hence I decided to make this curry colorful to feed my family a balanced nutritious meal.
How to make Iron Rich Beetroot Curry
I used all the veggies that I had in my refrigerator, added tofu for protein and calcium and also broccoli because I am very fond of this green veggie.
I sautéed these with some Asian seasonings like low sodium soy sauce, rice vinegar and added some spice with sriracha sauce.
Lastly, I added sweet ginger garlic seasoning for extra flavor to make it more appealing in taste.
Then I simmered the seasoned veggies in the beetroot puree.
Mind Blowing! That’s what my husband said after taking the first bite of this Iron Rich Veggie Beetroot Curry.
Beets are rich in many minerals and vitamins like magnesium, iron, folic acid, phosphorus and many more. It’s great for cleansing and a versatile veggie to consume.
This Iron Rich Veggie Beetroot Curry is not only beautiful and colorful but it also has balanced nutrition and is a flavorful wholesome meal 🙂
