  3. The groundnut powder is a lovely touch here — it gives the fry a nutty crunch that suits the earthy beetroot so well. I find beetroot peels much more easily after pressure cooking, so I cook it whole for one whistle and dice it afterwards to save effort. A small squeeze of lemon juice stirred through at the end would also lift the flavours beautifully.
