Beetroot Yogurt Chutney

Curd Chutneys are simple & easy to make. They take very less time & you don't have to be a expert to make one. Beetroot Yogurt Chutney is one of my favorites & love making it very often. Probably it's the goodness of the beetroot that motivates me to make it more often. The recipe I shared is one way of making it. You can add in fried onions & can flavor it up with mustard, sesame or your choice of dressing too. I make eggplant chutney regularly, but it is very similar to this chutney what I'm sharing here. The other one is the tomato sesame chutney, which is flavored with sesame paste along with yogurt & it is simply superb. Give this chutneys a try & I'm sure you will simply love them. These chutneys can be paired with rice, roti & many other south indian tiffins.
