Beetroot Raita

Beetroot is packed with nutrients like Vitamin C , B6 and Folic acid. I had one beetroot lying in my fridge from two days and I was thinking what to do with it .Yesterday when I prepared Veg Pulav , it came up in my mind to make this Raita as the Pulav is a bit spicy and beetroot Raita is perfect to balance it. A very common South Indian yoghurt preparation that is super tasty and healthy , best served with Pulav , Biryani and hot Chapatis. So let’s start the recipe.yum
