beetroot pachadi recipe | kerala style beetroot raita | beetroot yogurt curry with step by step photo and video recipe. in south indian cuisine, pachadi recipe is a synonym to the raita recipe from north indian cuisine. it is generally prepared with choice of vegetables as a side dish or appetizer if not as the main curry. beetroot based pachadi is one such simple and healthy recipe from the popular malayalam cuisine.
kerala cuisine is very similar to my hometown cuisine i.e udupi cuisine and there are many overlaps with each other. as matter of fact, there are certain recipes, which are common on both but maybe refereed with different names. for example, this recipe is known as beetroot pachadi in malayalam, but the almost same recipe is known as beetroot saasmi in my hometown. certainly, there would be a slight difference but the theme and flavour would be almost identical. hence, you would see more of kerala/udupi cuisine recipes in my blog. moreover, i personally like kerala recipes and that can be another reason too.
anyway, i would like to add few tips and recommendations for beetroot pachadi recipe. firstly, i heavily recommend using tender beetroot’s as it would be juicier and have more flavour. as an alternative, you can also use canned beetroot slices but may have to chop it finely. secondly, in this recipe, i have used desiccated coconut (soaked for 10 minutes in water) to prepare the coconut masala. but the traditional recipe is made with freshly grated coconut for an authentic taste. lastly, add curd or yogurt only after the flame is switched off or removed from the gas stove. otherwise, it may curdle and may not get the desired taste. also, make sure to whisk the curd to smooth texture before adding.
