Chukandar Raita

🇮🇳 Indian

Beetroot raita, pink as a warning sign and twice as welcome. The soothing counterpart every spicy plate is quietly asking for. Spoon generously; it disappears fastest of anything on the table.

Prep 10 min Cook 1 min Serves 4 Easy

Ingredients

  • Yogurt2 cups, whisked
  • Saltto taste
  • Green Chili2
  • Roasted Cumin1 tsp
  • Beetroot2, grated

Optional extras

  • Fresh Cilantro2 tbsp, chopped

Instructions

  1. 1

    Smooth the yogurt out; grainy raita is a texture crime.

  2. 2

    Prepare the beetroot fine enough that every spoonful gets some.

  3. 3

    Fold the beetroot into the yogurt with roasted cumin, salt and the green chili.

  4. 4

    Rest ten minutes in the fridge so the flavours get acquainted.

  5. 5

    Garnish with the yogurt and a final pinch of roasted cumin.

Chef's tip

Don't crowd the pan; steam is the enemy of the browning that builds flavour.
