Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium (about 150g) Beetroot
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 0.5 medium, finely chopped Cucumber
- 0.5 teaspoon Cumin powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh mint leaves
- 1 tablespoon, chopped Fresh coriander leaves
Instructions
Start by washing and trimming the ends of the beetroot. Do not peel the beetroot.
Place the beetroot in a small saucepan and cover with water. Bring it to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and let it simmer for 30 minutes or until the beetroot is tender.
Once cooked, drain and rinse the beetroot under cold water to cool it down. Peel off the skin with your fingers; it should come off easily.
Grate the beetroot using a box grater and set it aside to cool completely.
In a large mixing bowl, add the Greek yogurt and whisk until it is smooth and creamy.
Add the grated beetroot, chopped cucumber, cumin powder, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice to the yogurt. Mix well until all ingredients are fully integrated.
Add the chopped mint and coriander leaves to the mixture and stir well to combine.
Taste the raita and adjust the salt and pepper, if necessary.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
Before serving, give the raita a good stir. Serve chilled as a side dish with your favorite keto meal.
