BM #112 Week 3 day 1 -
This week it will be all about Raithas. With the ongoing/approaching hot months, I am sure all of us can indulge in some coolants and enjoy.
Here I have made a very popular Gujarati Raita with Beets. A hint of ginger and green chilies balance the sweetness of the beets pretty well . I had made it as part of a Gujarati meal which will be showcased separately in a few months.

I love the color imparted by the beetroot , looks very vibrant ! The taste is also really good , excellent raita .
That bowl is a great combination of flavors - beets, ginger and green chilies!! it has such a bright and stunning look to it too.
What a vibrant hued raita with great flavors.
That is a delicious bowl of raita. My version is slightly different, more a South Indian version. Will try this recipe next time and love all the spices you used here.
