Ingredients

• 1 medium (about 150g) Beetroot
• 1 cup Greek yogurt
• 0.5 medium, finely chopped Cucumber
• 0.5 teaspoon Cumin powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh mint leaves
• 1 tablespoon, chopped Fresh coriander leaves

Directions

Step 1

Start by washing and trimming the ends of the beetroot. Do not peel the beetroot.

Step 2

Place the beetroot in a small saucepan and cover with water. Bring it to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and let it simmer for 30 minutes or until the beetroot is tender.

Step 3

Once cooked, drain and rinse the beetroot under cold water to cool it down. Peel off the skin with your fingers; it should come off easily.

Step 4

Grate the beetroot using a box grater and set it aside to cool completely.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, add the Greek yogurt and whisk until it is smooth and creamy.

Step 6

Add the grated beetroot, chopped cucumber, cumin powder, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice to the yogurt. Mix well until all ingredients are fully integrated.

Step 7

Add the chopped mint and coriander leaves to the mixture and stir well to combine.

Step 8

Taste the raita and adjust the salt and pepper, if necessary.

Step 9

Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 10

Before serving, give the raita a good stir. Serve chilled as a side dish with your favorite keto meal.
