Beetroot Raita – Boiled and Grated beetroots added in spicy yogurt to make a healthy dip

Beetroot Raita Recipe -Initially I don’t like beetroots much but due to its numerous health benefits I started using it ,I often make simple and healthy -beetroot stir fry and this delicious beetroot raita .

Making Beetroot Raita  is very easy. Just boil whole beetroot in the pressure cooker for 2 whistles and then peel the beetroot. Now grate the beetroot with a medium grater. Whisk the yogurt and add all the spices and the grated beetroot. You can also add the tempering of cumin and curry leaves on top while serving. Chill in the refrigerator for some time and then serve the raita.

I loved the beautiful pink colour and slight crunch of grated beetroot in smooth and chilled yogurt. This Chukandar Ka Raita is a nice accompaniment for Green chutney pulav  ,vegetable biryani and stuffed moong and palak parathas
