Instructions
- First prep your vegetables. Rinse them very well in water. Peel and set aside. Grate the beetroot and carrot. Finely chop the onion and capsicum.
- Take the curd in a bowl and whisk it until smooth.
- Add all the chopped veggies together with the roasted cumin powder and salt according to taste.
- Mix to combine evenly.
- Garnish with chopped cilantro or coriander leaves.
- Serve the beetroot raita with pulao, biryani or with dal and rice or with any Indian meal of your choice.
- It is best to enjoy this raita as soon as you make it. If there are any leftovers, then refrigerate in a covered container for a couple of hours only.
Notes
- Make sure that the beetroot is fresh, juicy and tender.
- You can choose to skip the carrots, onions and capsicum. If omitting carrots, then add some more grated beetroot if you prefer.
- Instead of regular salt, you can also use black salt. Opt to add chaat masala if you like.
- For raita, it is always better to use fresh homemade curd. If using packaged curd, make sure it is within its shelf-period and has not become too sour.
- To make a vegan variation of the recipe, replace the curd with a plant based yogurt like cashew yogurt, almond yogurt or coconut yogurt.
