This is a super quick version for making beetroot poriyal. Tasty and healthy poriyal can be made within 3 minutes using in Pressure Cooker.
Of late, I am getting addicted to a pressure cooker and instant pot-based recipes. This one is yet another RK sir’s pressure cooker-inspired recipe.
Growing up, Beetroot was one of the least popular veggies for me. I always prefer grating the beetroot or chopping it in a chopper to reduce the cooking time. I avoid cubed beetroot, to reduce the cooking time. A few months back my friend Kavitha said she made beetroot that day and learned this recipe from her.
I have pretty much followed the recipe, except for the tempering and peanut. Beetroot was cooked to perfection within 3 minutes😊
After I started using pressure cooker direct cooking, cooking has become super easy. The only challenge is to cut vegetables. In fact cutting vegetables takes longer, when compared to cooking time😊
Nowadays I cut the beetroot the previous night and keep it in the fridge. During busy mornings, curry can be made super quick. With a proper pressure cooker, curry can be made in no time.

I make a lot of beet salads, but never paired it with coconut. It sounds so good. Hope to try it next time.
Without chilis or powder.?
You can add green/ red chilli while tempering. My son likes it this way so I skip ih
