Beetroot Rice Or Pulao And Raita 

26/02/2017 by Sujata Roy 20 Comments


Beetroot rice or pulao.

A very flavourful and delicious comfort one pot satisfying meal. 

And beetroot made this rice super healthy. 

Beetroot is low in fat, full of vitamins and minerals and packed with powerful antioxidants. And it contains potassium, magnesium, iron, vitamins A, B6 and C, folic acid, carbohydrates, protein, antioxidants and soluble fibre. Not only that beetroot nutrition can also make your skin glow.

And you will get a natural lovely colour rice with beetroot. 

This post is going to be a part of #Foodiemonday bloghop hot/cold rice recipe theme. My contribution is this easy, healthy and delicious beetroot rice or pulao. 

I have made it with green peas. You can use fried cashew nuts or any dry fruits of your choice. If you want to make it non vegetarian add hard boiled eggs, boiled and shredded chicken or mutton. 

Sharing a beetroot raita recipe too. This raita goes well with beetroot rice or pulao.

Method 



Wash and soak the rice for 15 minutes. 

Crush cardamom, cloves, cinnamon, mace, star anise and Kababchini or cubeb in a mortal pastel. 

Heat 2 tablespoon clarified butter/ghee or oil. I have used 1 tablespoon oil and 1 tablespoon ghee. 

Add bay leaf, crushed whole spices and cumin seeds. Let the seeds crackle. 

Add sliced onions and garlic. Fry till the onion becomes brown. 

Add grated ginger and chopped green chilli. Saute for few seconds. 

Add grated beetroot, salt, chopped cilantro, mint leaves and all the spices. 

Saute till the mixture dried up completely. 

Now add the drained rice. Mix gently. 

Add green peas, water and juice of 1 lemon. Mix well. You can add fried cashew nuts or any dry fruits of your choice. 

Close the lid. Switch off the flame after 1 whistle. 

Don’t open the pressure cooker immediately. Wait for the pressure to go down naturally. 

Open the lid. Fluff the rice gently.

Serve it with healthy and yummy beetroot raita.

Recipe Developer Behind The Blog

Hello there!

I am Sujata Roy. A homemaker, a blogger, a passionate cook, a recipe developer, a home baker, and lastly a foodie.

Experimenting in the kitchen is what I love and enjoy doing the most. Specially experimenting with vegetarian dishes and egg-less cakes and cookies is what interests me more.

My loved ones are fond of vegetarian cuisines, so I have them in my mind whenever I dish out a new recipe.

However, I do not limit my experimental cooking to vegetarian recipes only, non-vegetarian recipe ideas are also dished out. And you can also get many healthy recipes in this blog, including different types of baking ideas with healthy ingredients. So enjoy healthy foods without compromising on taste.

Thank you for visiting my blog. Happy Cooking!
