Notes
- Variations
- Add some non dairy yogurt into the beet bowl. Mix and serve. It will look like thick deep pink Raita.(Indian Yogurt dip side). I used So Delicious Plain coconut milk yogurt.
- Add cumin seeds instead of mustard seeds to the tempering. - If you dont like the raw Beet taste, then add the grated beet and carrot to the tempering pan after adding green chili. Mix well and cook covered on low for 4-5 minutes. Stir 2-3 times in between.
- Or use roasted or boiled beet.
