with Peanut Brittle and Brown Basmati Rice

Peanut brittle gets a new life here as a sweet and savory, crunchy addition to this rich beet curry. Forming it on the baking sheet should be as simple as patting it down with your hands. If you have time to allow it to cool before breaking apart, the crunch will be intensified. The beets are ready when they can be easily pierced with a fork, be careful of staining your cutting board, or anything else for that matter- red beets are notorious for that.
