Begin by washing the beetroots thoroughly under running water. Then place the beetroots in a pot with water and bring to a boil.

Grate the cooled beetroots using a box grater or a food processor and set them aside in a medium-sized mixing bowl.

Peel and grate the cucumber and add it to the bowl with the beetroots.
Step 6
Finely chop the mint leaves and coriander leaves and add them to the bowl.
Step 7
Add the coconut yogurt to the vegetable mixture and stir well to combine.
Step 8
Sprinkle the roasted cumin powder, salt, and black pepper over the mixture and stir again to ensure even distribution.
Step 9
Add lemon juice and give the mixture a final mix.
Step 10
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
