This is super quick version for making beetroot poriyal. Tasty and healthy poriyal can be made within 3 minutes using in Pressure Cooker.
Off late, I am getting addicted for pressure cooker and instant pot based recipes. This one is yet another OPOS®inspired recipe. I have used OPOS®cooking technique, but have made tempering, so not sure if it will fit into a proper OPOS®category but still want to give the credit for such a easy cooking technique to cook beetroot super fast.
Growing up, Beetroot was one of 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. Few months back my friend Kavitha said she made beetroot that day. I immediately guessed it is OPOS®and asked for the steps.
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. Only challenge is to cut vegetables. Infact cutting vegetables takes longer, when compared to cooking time😊
Now a days I cut the beetroot 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.
