Beets With Tomato And Onion - Indian Style - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3/4 lb. beets, peeled and cut into chunks
2 Tbsp. oil
1 tsp. whole cumin seeds
1 clove garlic
1 large onion, chopped
1 tsp. flour
cayenne pepper, optional, to taste
2 medium tomatoes, seeded and chopped (or canned equivalent)
1 1/4 c. water

Preparation

Heat the oil in a saucepan.
Add the cumin, garlic and onion and cook until the onions are soft.
Add the flour and cayenne and cook for a minute more.
Add the beets, tomatoes, salt and water and simmer, covered, for 30 minutes or until beets are cooked. Uncover and cook for 7 minutes to thicken the sauce. I took these to a potluck once and after most of the guests had gone, the host was seen polishing off the leftovers straight from the pot.
