RECIPE
Deep pink in colour and retaining that unique beetroot flavour, this curry makes a stunning addition to a selection of curries.
There is an urban myth that says that beetroot leaves are poisonous, well I have been making beetroot curry for years and I always incorporate the stems and leaves.
