Beetroot raita is a lightly seasoned beets yogurt dip. I am not a great fan of beetroots but really like the rich and vibrant color that this vegetable lends to a dish.
This simple, easy to make raita goes well as an accompaniment to biryani, pulao or lentil based dishes. You can also have it with chapathis /rotis.
This is a nutritious healthy recipe. Beetroots are rich in antioxidants. They are also a good source of vitamin C, potassium, magnesium and sodium.
