Vegetarian Indian food is just delightful, so much so that when you eat a vegetarian Indian diet you just don’t seem to miss the meat element at all. This is because we are not scared about adding big bold flavours to delicate vegetables. In Kerala, ‘Thoran’ is a term used for a stir fried preparation that can literally be made with any of the local, seasonal vegetables. For our Beetroot Thoran we select the freshest beetroot and combine it with the beautiful tastes and textures of coconut, mustard and curry leaf.
Beetroot is a health food titan – low in fat, full of vitamins and minerals and packed with powerful antioxidants. Studies have shown that beetroot can have a positive effect on our wellbeing – from digestive health, to lowering blood pressure and the plant pigment that gives beetroot its rich, purple-crimson colour – betacyanin – is a powerful agent with high anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory capabilities.
