Beetroot Raita




Beetroot raita is what exactly you are looking for when you need to prepare a side dish in a jiffy. Beetroot raita comes in many versions and today i'm sharing my no cook,easy and healthier raita....yes without a single drop of oil which usually use for tempering in preparing raitas.

Shredded beetroot mixed with wholesome goodness of chilled beaten yogurt indeed a nutritious and healthier option of side dish and what more, it comes with a gorgeous colur. The beautiful pink colored raita definitely a  feast for eyes on my dining table, and my girls fall in love with them the moment i dished it out. Pink always girls favourite. Raita is best served chilled thus, it makes a good choice for killing the summer heat. I used lemon juice to enhance the flavour. The little hint of lemon in every bite works the tricks on your tastebud
