Ingredients.....1 tbs of canola / rice bran oil, 2 tbs of minced garlic, 1 dsp of minced ginger, 1 tsp of ground cumin, 1 tsp of ground coriander, 1 tsp of chilli flakes, 625 gm of cooked beetroot, cut into wedges, 150 ml of coconut milk, 1 tsp of ground cardamon, grated rind and juice of 1 lime, handful of chopped fresh basil, cracked black pepper to taste. I used the precooked whole beetroots available in the fresh vegetable section of my local supermarket. Heat the oil in a large frying pan. Add the garlic, ginger, cumin, coriander and chlli flakes. Stir fry for 2 minutes until aromatic then add the beetroot wedges and stir until well incorporated. Now add the coconut milk, cardamon, lime rind and juice. Cook over a medium heat for 3 minutes. Stir through the fresh basil and season with the cracked black pepper. Serve hot, warm or at room temperature.
