Catchy raita, who will say no to it. Eye pleasing raita, my all time favourite.
Amazing color to the raita. Good one.
Beets add an excellent colour to dishes. This raitha looks so vibrant and full of nutrition. perfect to have with any type of rice.
I always make the Kerala style kichadi with beets. Need to try it with chaat masala and other spices. I love beets and I can gobble it in any form. 🙂 Good one Preeti.
I need to make this raita just for its beautiful color. Beetroot stir fry is one of my favorite to eat with curd rice. I am sure I will be eating this whole bowl by myself without sharing.
