Beets Raita

A favorite in my family. All the health benefits are a bonus.
Ingredients-

Fresh Beets - about 1 cup, peeled and grated

Plain curd (yoghurt) - 2 cups
Mustard Seeds - 1/4 tsp

Jeera (Cumin seeds) - 1/4 tsp

Green Chillies - 3 or 4, chopped

Curry leaves - 1 sprig, optional but highly recommended

Salt and turmeric powder - a pinch

Method-

In a pan, add 1 tbsp oil. When it is sufficiently hot, add the mustard and jeera. After they pop, add chopped green chillies and curry leaves. Stir fry briefly and add the grated beets. Sprinkle a pinch of salt and some turmeric powder. Sauté on medium to high heat for about 4 or 5 minutes until the beets are half cooked. (If you like the beets raw, you don't have to sauté them.)

Meanwhile, add the curd to a bowl. Remove the stirfried beets from fire and add to the yogurt. Mix everything well and check for salt.

Simple. This will happily accompany any rice dish or roti. I like to serve this with aloo paratha too. Yum Yum.
