Beetroot Kichadi

Have you seen my post for Vendakka Kichadi. Beetroot recipe is very similar. Kichadi is a dish made in Kerala that is nothing but a kind of raita. This has been sitting in my draft for some time. Never got to posting it. But when I saw the event Show me your HITS was themed Beets and Carrots, I knew there is no better time to post this recipe than now :-) So here you go.

Ingredients

Beetroot 1/2 cup

Coconut 1/4 cup

Green Chilli 1

Curry Leaves few

Jeera 1/2 tsp

Yogurt/Curd 1 cup

Method of Preparation

1. Grate the beetroot in small size grater.

2. Heat a little oil in a pan and add the mustard.

3. When it sputters, add the curry leaves and red chilli.
