Beetroot Thoran – A South Indian Style Beetroot Sabzi / Vegetable
I try & include beetroots in our diet by adding them in our weekly meals. Usually it’s a raita (yoghurt based) or boiled, sliced & stuffed as a sandwich for breakfast or the humble Thoran from Kerala that is most loved at home so much so that there are second helpings demanded. People who hate beetroots – Are you listening??
I find a lot of people dislike this vegetable for many number of reasons but the most important being the earthy flavor & aroma. I feel the problem can be solved by steaming them in the right way (excessive steaming leads to nutrition loss & under steaming makes it tough & difficult to digest). Now there is a growing trend amongst bakers to include beetroots in chocolate based cakes, brownies etc. I haven’t tried it yet but will get there…

I disliked beets as a kid, but my parents instilled the belief that we continue to try foods we think we don’t care for: their 3-bite rule. Beets never took.
I was in my early 30’s, on a date with a new man, taken to a ritzy Manhattan restaurant where I would have been too embarrassed NOT to eat the beets that were served with the entree. To my surprise, I absolutely loved them – and have ever since. I adore Borscht, both hot and cold.
I believe our taste buds change as we age — but I still don’t like brussels sprouts and only tolerate lima beans – so I guess those dislikes will die when I do – lol.

I don’t think I’ve ever been faced with jellied eels – but when I was in Hawaii a native who sort of “adopted” my two friends and I caught an eel (with his bare hands, btw), cooked it over an open fire right there on the beach, and served it to us proudly. It was delicious.

Yeah – like wormy Jello™ – I’d have to break “the 3-bite” rule on that one!
