    Beetroot Raita

    Dec 11, 2016 · Modified: Sep 7, 2022 by Priya_Srinivasan ·

    After Beets thogayal, i give you a colorful accompaniment to your pulav’s and roti’s, Beets raita. We pair it with our regular rice and dal too.My kids love this raita, when i make this, they add some rice to a big bowl of raita and happily mop it off. Mommy is happy that something healthy and interesting is getting into their tummy, so i never complain. Seeing their interest, i make this atleast once in a week, my lil one, can eat this raita with everything. I have thinned this down to a saucy consistency and used as accompaniment with my Breakfast muffins too. A versatile recipe in my home 😉

    Ingredients
    1 small beetroot/approximately ½ cup when chopped
    2 cups of yogurt (500grams)
    1 green chili (indian chili, hot variety)
    1 teaspoon grated ginger
    ½ teaspoon cumin seeds
    ¼ cup of freshly grated coconut
    fresh coriander leaves for garnish
    ½ teaspoon salt or to taste

    Method

    • Peel and chop the beets, take it in a microwave safe bowl, add water to immerse the beets. Microwave high for 8-10 minutes. Remove and drain the water. Do not throw away the water, use it to cook dal or add it to your rasam or sambar.
    • Take the beets along with green chili, ginger, cumin seeds and coconut in a blender and blend smooth.Add the blended puree to a bowl and add the yogurt and salt, mix well. 
    • Tadka is optional, if you prefer add a tadka of mustard seeds, hing and curry leaves. Garnish with coriander leaves and serve it along with rice/roti’s/



    This goes for the December Week 2, Cooking from Cookbook Challenge Group
