Beetroot Sukka is a popular Mangalorean side dish that is served in restaurants, dhabas and small eateries. Sukka refers to mostly non-vegetarian dishes but our Beetroot Sukka recipe is on the vegetarian side. Made from mildly spiced vegetables and grated coconut mixed in, it’s best served with rice and rotis. You can also add a bit of dal to the side for a complete meal. Many households prefer st ... ir-frying the beets for the sukka but we believe having them chopped retains the nutritional value of the vegetables. You can also mix grated carrots and sliced cucumbers to this Beetroot sukka recipe to give in a unique texture. Dried chillies and tamarind paste are two household ingredients frequently used for seasoning this dish. However, if you want it to be on the sweeter side you can add subtle notes of dried fruits and chopped cashews for a nice taste. For the tempering, you can use mint leaves instead of curry leaves as well. To get an idea on how to prepare Beetroot Sukka at home, be sure to check out our Beetroot Sukka video online. It tells you how to make this dish step-by-step along with listing all the Beetroot Sukka ingredients.

Health Benefits of Beetroot Sukka
Beets have been used as medicinal plants since ancient times for improving gut health and iron levels. Popular for preventing anaemia and chronic fatigue, the nitric oxide production that results from beets inside the body leads to better workout performance and blood circulation. Raw beets have high levels of Vitamin C, B6, folate and essential minerals like magnesium, copper and potassium. Magnesium is vital for nerve development and cognitive health while plant compounds such as betanin and violaxanthin in beets deliver a myriad of health benefits. Vegetables like carrots added to the beets boost the Vitamin c and folate content of this dish. Vitamin C has been popular for whitening the skin, preventing oxidative stress and strengthening the immune system. Beets are a versatile vegetable which means they can be stir-fried and mixed with other greens as well to give this dish a nutritional boost. Tamarind paste and dried chillies have anti-inflammatory properties and dilate the blood vessels. This promotes better blood flow and the polyphenols in tamarind improve cardiovascular health. If you don’t prefer tamarind paste, you can also go with turmeric and reap its cholesterol-lowering benefits. Make this recipe a staple in your diet and watch yourself get healthier by the day. You won’t regret it!

Success!

We hope you had fun making it! Enjoy the meal.
