Ingredients

  • 1 cup curd thick & chilled
  • ¼th of a small beetroot ~¼ cup roughly chopped
  • 5 nos mint leaves
  • 1 tiny piece ginger
  • ½ teaspoon jeera
  • 1 pinch of roasted jeera powder
  • 1 tiny pinch black salt
  • ½ cup water

Instructions

  • Peel the skin from beets, chop it roughly. Take it in a sauce pan and add water. Cook until beets turn soft, no need to become mushy. If you prick with knife it should easily run inside. Set aside and cool down completely.
  • Take it in a blender along with the cooked water, add mint leaves, ginger and jeera. Blend it well until its  semi smooth.
  • Take curd in a mixing bowl. Strain beets puree, press it well with a spoon so that the juice is extracted well.
  • Mix it with a spoon. Add black salt .Use a blender to blend once.
  • Pour in serving glass and serve with a sprinkle of jeera powder. Enjoy Beetroot Chaas!

Notes

  • Cooking beets – I usually cook until knife goes inside easily. Do not overcook beets to mushy stage.
  • Chilled Curd – Thick curd gives creamy chaas. If curd is sour too much, taste may change.
  • Straining – I just strain beetroot puree well to remove fiber. It gives smoother and nicer drink.
  • Adjust water– Add water little by little while blending. Too much water makes it very thin.
  • Serve immediately – I prefer serving fresh after blending. Keeping too long may slightly change color.
