Beetroot Pachadi Recipe

 Beetroot Pachadi 

 Beetroot Pachadi is a vibrant and flavorful dish commonly made in Kerala households, especially during festive occasions like Onam. It is a type of pachadi (a yogurt-based side dish) made with grated or finely chopped beetroot, cooked and grounded and mixed with ground coconut, green chilies, mustard seeds, and curd (yogurt).

The dish is finished with a tempering of mustard seeds, curry leaves, and dried red chilies in coconut oil.
