Grated Beetroot, spiced up with a Mustard & Cumin seeds and Chilli tadka. Served as is or mixed in with Curd or Lemon Juice. It makes for a pretty and delicious side with any meal. You can add other crunchy veggies like Carrot, Radish and more.

Beetroot Koshimbir (salad/raita) is a healthy, refreshing salad/side dish. The goodness of Beetroot combined with Curd makes this salad a guilt free nourishing snack too. Quick and easy, the recipe can be easily adapted to suit your taste.

This Beetroot Salad is tempered with Indian spices. It is called Koshimbir.

 Eat it just like that or I recommend getting warm bread like chapati!
