Beetroot Thoran is a flavoursome stir fry beet recipe made with grated beetroot, coconut, onion, ginger & few spices. It is a healthy & easy to make beetroot recipe which is also vegetarian, vegan & gluten free.

Stir Fry Beet is a great option to be served as side dish with dal, chapati or rice. It gets ready in less than 30 minutes and you can even store it in fridge for later use.

Beet are considered to be a great source of manganese, folate & other minerals like iron, potassium & magnesium etc. The lush ruby tender beets combined with coconut taste absolutely divine. The sweetness from beets and coconut is well balanced by use of chillies and ginger.

To make this beet stir fry, I have used grated beetroot. You can even use finely chop beetroot in this recipe. My personal preference is always the grated version as it takes lesser time to cook.

I was introduced to beetroot thoran after coming to Hyderabad & ever since, this has become one of the most relished beetroot recipe at my home. For a long time I used to refer this dish as beetroot subzi but it was recently when I got to know that the dish is actually called ‘Thoran‘.

What is Thoran?

Thoran refers to traditional South Indian dish where chopped or grated vegetables are stir fried with shallots, chillies, coconut & mustard seeds etc. Apart from beetroot other vegetables like carrot, cabbage & beans etc are also used to make thoran. Instead of shallots I have used onion to make this stir fry. You can also add little bit of crushed garlic though I have not used any.

Authentically freshly grated coconut is used in its preparation, but as we may not always have it home, it can be replaced with desiccated coconut powder. As it is dried form of coconut, it is used in lesser quantity than freshly grated coconut.
