We have this thing about beets...

We love them!! Try this recipe if you love beets too.

Beet Curry

Ingredients

2 c. yellow lentils
8 c. water
1 T. turmeric
----
4 large beets cut into large dice
1 large onion cut into large dice
5 (or more) large cloves garlic, pressed
2 T. cumin
1 T. coriander
5-10 dried red chilies, crushed
salt to taste

Instructions

Bring lentils and turmeric to a boil and then reduce to a simmer, stirring occasionally to keep the lentils from sticking to the pot, which should be large.
While it simmers, spray a frying pan lightly with oil spray. Pop 2 T. black mustard seeds over medium-high heat. Add garlic and onions, saute for a minute or so, then add beats and reduce heat to medium-low. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 10 min. Add contents of the frying pan to the lentil pot. Add the rest and simmer until the lentils start to disintegrate.

Serving

Serve with basmati rice...
