Beetroot Raita Kerala Style / Beetroot Pachadi Recipe with step by step pics and a short Youtube video. If you like my video, please share it and don’t forget to SUBSCRIBE to my channel.  This is a spicy, sour, slightly sweet raita or pachadi or chutney from the Kerala cuisine and it is a must dish in the Vishu and Onam Sadhya menu. It is a perfect accompaniment with hot steaming rice and Kerala Sambar or Moru Curry. Also, this is similar to the Beetroot Raita prepared in North India, only with slight variations and the addition of curd lends a silky, creamy texture to the dish. I suggest using sour curd for a tangy taste and the main point to be noted here is before adding the curd, switch off the flame, else there is a chance to get curdled. If interested, check my Tamil New year / Vishu recipes here…

Notes

Tips for Beetroot Raita Kerala Style

  1. Use fresh, tender and juicy beetroot for a good taste and colour.
  2. Use a grater with big holes to grate the beets. If using small grater, the raita turns like a paste after cooking.
  3. Adjust chilli's as per spice level required for this Beetroot Pachadi Recipe.
  4. Addition of turmeric powder gives a vibrant colour to the raita.
  5. Use sour curd (2 to 3 days old) for a little tangy and nice taste. Fresh curd wont work for this recipe.
  6. Always switch off the flame and then add the curd, else there is a chance it gets curdled.
  7.  I suggest using coconut oil for seasoning, which lends a nice aroma for the Beetroot Raita Kerala Style.
  8. Also, seasoning at last helps to retain the flavour for a long time.
