Ingredients

  • 2 medium beet
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 cups yogurt full fat
  • 2 small cucumber peeled and cubed, Persian
  • 8 mint leaf optional, fresh

Instructions

Steaming Beets in Instant Pot:

  1. Pour 1 cup of water into the Instant Pot insert and place the trivet in the pot. Place the beets on the trivet. 
  2. Secure the lid and set the pressure release to sealing. Manual(Hi)/Pressure Cook for 15 minutes. Let the pressure release naturally, this will take about 10 minutes. Open the pot and wearing heat-resistant mitts transfer the beets to a plate or cutting board. Let cool. When cool enough to handle, peel the beets and cut them into ½-inch cubes.

Making Raita

  1. In a medium bowl whisk together yogurt and salt. Stir in cucumber.
  2. Add the beets to the raita, stir to combine, and garnish with the mint. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and serve chilled. 

Notes

  • Store-bought pre-cooked beets or Oven-roasted beets can be used in place of steamed beets.
