BEETROOT RAITA

A beetroot raita is quick and simple recipe which is made with curd, beetroot and some Indian spices. It is very healthy accompaniment of curd which you can serve as a side dish. Adding green chillis in beetroot raita makes it more flavorful. Even you can add chopped onion which gives you a nice crunch and also add fresh mint leaves for refreshing taste. This goes well with any pulao or biryani. This is a healthy, nutritious and beautiful coloured raita. I got tempted only because of it’s colour. It was so nice and different from the other raitas that we usually have at home.  It also tastes so good that you can just have it plain. So next time when you prepared any pulao or biryani do try it in your kitchen and share me your suggestions if any.

INGREDIENTS:
100 gms Grated Beetroot [2 nos.]
½ teaspoon roasted Cumin Powder
1-2 Green Chillies, chopped
2-3 teaspoon Mint-Coriander Paste
100-150 gms Curd
Salt as needed
METHOD:
STEP 1 – In a mixing bowl, add grated beetroot, salt, cumin powder, chopped green chillies, mint-coriander paste and 

mix it well.

STEP 2 – Now add curd and give a nice mix.

STEP 3 – Garnish with some chopped coriander and serve.

This raita goes well with most rice based dishes like pulao and biryani.
It also tastes so good that you can just have it plain.
