Isn’t Beetroot Raita just gorgeous to look at? I am very fond of Perugu Pachadis or Raitas. I can and am known to make a meal of them. I have already written about:
- Kakdi Raita
- Boondi Raita
- Bendakaya Perugu Pachadi
- Vendakaya Kichadi
- Vankaya Perugu Pachadi
- Lal Bholpa Bharit
- Tzatziki
Today, I am writing about another popular variant, the Beetroot Raita.

Lovely!
Love the colour of the beets. They bring such brightness and flavour to everything! I’ve come to realize how versatile raita can be after looking at some of your other raita recipes. They all sound so delicious!
