Want to level up your snacks? Try this rustic beetroot dip with phenomenal flavors. A nice kick from the fresh ginger, creaminess from the sesame seeds and coconut, and the health benefits of the anti-inflammatory garlic make it the perfect combination.

Ingredients

1 tsp avocado oil/cold-pressed coconut oil
4 medium-sized beetroots, peeled and grated
150 g A2 yogurt or coconut yogurt, beaten well
Salt to taste
The juice of one lime

For the paste:

½ tsp mustard seeds
1 tsp sesame seeds, toasted
½ tsp cumin seeds
2 tbsp garlic paste
125 g fresh grated coconut
1 green chili
1 tbsp grated ginger

For tempering:

1/2 tbsp coconut oil
2 tsp mustard seeds
A pinch of asafoetida
A few curry leaves
1 dried Kashmiri chili, broken

Instructions

In a large pan, heat the oil and sauté the beetroot for four to five minutes.
Meanwhile, make the paste. Blend the mustard, sesame, and cumin seeds. Add the garlic, coconut, ginger, and chili next. Add a little water and blend into a smooth paste.
Add this to the beetroot and cook on low heat for five minutes. Let it cool.
Add yogurt, season with salt to taste, and stir in the lime juice.
Pour into a serving bowl and set aside.
Heat coconut oil in a small pan. When hot, add mustard seeds. As soon as they start spluttering, add the asafoetida, curry leaves, and chili.
Pour this tadka over the beetroot dip and serve.

Notes

A powerhouse of folate, fiber, vitamins, and minerals, beetroot has it all.
Being rich in betacyanin and nitrates makes the root vegetable heart-friendly.
Sesame seeds are not only rich in calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, and iron but also contain sesamol which helps reduce oxidative damage caused by free radicals.
