    Beetroot Pachadi is a cross between a raitha and a pachadi that works out best as a side dish for your pulaos. The dish is easy to make and pairs well.

    We are starting the final week of BM#49, and I will be doing One Ingredient, Different forms. I picked up beetroot as it's one vegetable I am trying to involve more in my cooking.So for the day 1, it's Beets pachadi. The regular schedule got affected because we had the BM#50 Celebrations and all of us were so tired. So that's the reason for the late posting.

    Coming to the pachadi, this is more like a raitha served with pulao. And it's a cross between a regular raitha and a side dish. I can't strictly call this a raitha, a pachadi sounds better as the dish is a cooked one. Still I served with with Tomato Biryani, it was a great combination.

    I ended up being in love with my own pictures, because of how colourful it looked finally! Then I had two minds of  sending this for Kids Delight Colourful Dishes. Well I can't spam Varada's inbox with just Beets right!

    Enjoy this pachadi, while I go and get my next posts ready! If you are interested to know other side dishes for pulao, you can check out the collection.
