As I promised in my previous post here comes yet another simple, healthy yet very tasty raita. This is perfect side dish for fried rice, biriyani, Roti, Parathas. I find this combo of beet and yogurt really works. My son claims this is even better than beetroot chutney. So try it out.
Ingredients:
Beetroot – 1 (medium size. When grated about 1.5 cups)
Green chillies – 3 to 5 (adjust to your spice level)
Cashewnuts – 10 (Soak it in hot water for 15 mins)
Fresh grated coconut – 2 tablespoon
Yogurt -3 cups
To Temper
Oil – 1/2 teaspoon
Mustard seeds – 1/4 teaspoon
Urad dhal – 1 teaspoon
Curry leaves – 10
Method:
Grind green chillies, cashew and grated coconut. Add yogurt and whip it. Add 1/2 teaspoon of oil in a pan and when it is hot add mustard seeds. Let it pop. Add Urad dhal, curry leaves. Fry till dhal is brown in colour. Add Grated Beet and fry for 2-3 mins till raw smell goes off. Add whipped yogurt and mix well
