Barbie pachidi a.k.a. Beetroot pachidi

My grandmother used to make this with raw cucumber as an accompaniment to most meals. I prefer the beautiful colour of beetroot, and often have it as a stand-alone evening snack. The name was given by my kids, who think anything pink is girlie- they claim not to like it for that reason only.



1 medium beetroot- boiled
3/4 cup curds
1 green chilli
3-4 sprigs coriander leaves
salt to taste

Grate the beetroot, and keep aside.
Grind coriander leaves and green chilli to a rough paste
Mix, curds, salt, and coriander-green chilli paste, till it attains a smooth consistency.
Add beetroot and mix till the colour is homogenous.
Garnish with coriander/ green chilli.
