Beet Koshumbir - Beet Salad with yogurt

"This dish is from Maharastra, India and it is usually served with rice and lentils. It is very creamy and you may want to cut the yogurt back to 8 oz, depending on personal taste. Believe it or not it is low cal and high potassium"

  1. THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing this wonderful, tasty, beautiful to look at and easy to make dish with us, Bergy!<br/>I made this to go with an Indian themed dinner and everyone loved it. :)<br/>I cut back on the yogurt a tad as per your suggestion and it was fabulous that way.<br/>Made and reviewed for THINK PINK October 2010.
     
  2. This is absolutely beautiful! And about the easiest recipe you can make. I like the subtle hint of the beets that emerges from the creamy texture of the yogurt, so I myself prefer the ratio as written below. However the first time I made this I added a few more beets which might've accounted for a surprise i received the next day. Left overnight in the fridge this turned a wild magenta color, lol! A recipe to treasure, I will make this each year with my garden beet harvest. Thank you Bergy!
     
  3. This is my favorite raita ever! I can eat this an as accompaniment everyday. It's insanely easy, delicious, healthy and looks beautiful...just like dessert. I used fatfree yogurt for this and left out the dill - it really doesn't need it.

On January 10 2010 I will celebrate 9 years of Life with Zaar. I can't imagine being without it! It has become part of my daily routine. I feel very privileged to be one of the hosts on the Photo Forum. Taking photos of my culinary efforts is a full time hobby and I love it. My friends all know what to expect when they come to dinner "Are you finished taking pictures?" or "Did you get a photo of so & so?" I never let them wait too long and the food is NEVER cold! I now have over 6000 photos on Zaar - some fairly good and some definitely not so good. I am happy to say that practice does help. My roots are in Vancouver BC Canada - a very beautiful city that holds many wonderful memories for me. In 1990, I decided that for my retirement years I may want to settle in a smaller community and found a slice of heaven in the North Okanagan B.C. I love living here but every once in a while I miss the bright city lights, the Broadway shows and some of the small wonderful ethnic restaurants that Vancouver abounds in. That is easily resolved. I just take a trip to the coast, visit with friends for a weekend see a show and feast on Dim Sum or other specialty foods. I am getting a bit long in the tooth but was a very adventurous person. I have river rafted Hell's Gate on the Fraser river, been up in a glider over Hawaii (no not a Hang Glider!), gone hot air ballooning in the Napa Valley & the Fraser Valley, driven dune buggies on the dunes in Oregon, Para sailing in Mexico and tried many other adventurous, challenging, fun things. I have yet to try bungee jumping or sky diving. I may do them yet. I love to travel and experience other cultures. Mexco has been a favorite haunt. I have visited that lovely country many many times. Australia is another favorite as is England! In the past 16 months I have taken off 61 pounds and feel wonderful. I am off all medications and all systems are GO! In years I may be 79 but in spirit I am still in my forties. We are only as old as we allow ourselves to feel. Always think positive. Do something a bit challenging every day & always do something silly every day. Be a kid again! Laugh every day - it is internal jogging.
