My next post is again on Raita… but this time on beautiful colored and nutritious vegetables…. beetroot and carrot. When I saw the color of the beetroot carrot raita……. I was like wow 
Somewhere I read that the entire meal should be colorful. A meal full of different colors is not only balanced in the nutrition aspect, but also subtly affects our nadis and chakras. More on this topic later.
I have also added some chopped capsicum and onions to the raita to give it a crunchiness. This is optional.
I must say that the beetroot carrot raita went very well with dal-rice. It was so nice and different from the other raitas that we usually have at home. In fact I was only having the raita even after my meal.
