Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium Beetroots
- 1 cup Coconut yogurt
- 1 small Cucumber
- 2 tablespoons Mint leaves
- 2 tablespoons Coriander leaves
- 1 teaspoon Roasted cumin powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Begin by washing the beetroots thoroughly under running water. Then place the beetroots in a pot with water and bring to a boil.
Cook the beetroots for about 20 minutes or until they are tender. You can check the doneness by inserting a fork which should slide in easily.
Once cooked, drain the beetroots and let them cool down for a few minutes. Peel the skin off using your hands or a peeler.
Grate the cooled beetroots using a box grater or a food processor and set them aside in a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Peel and grate the cucumber and add it to the bowl with the beetroots.
Finely chop the mint leaves and coriander leaves and add them to the bowl.
Add the coconut yogurt to the vegetable mixture and stir well to combine.
Sprinkle the roasted cumin powder, salt, and black pepper over the mixture and stir again to ensure even distribution.
Add lemon juice and give the mixture a final mix.
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled as a refreshing side dish with your favorite main course.
