If you are eating it raw, turn it into a juice or smoothie. Blend raw beetroot with apple, carrot, or orange for a fresh detox drink. You can also use it in salads. Grate raw beetroot and mix with leafy greens, feta, and nuts. Another easy idea is beetroot raita. Grate it, mix with sweet curd, and top with salt, pepper, and chaat masala.
For those who eat it cooked, try beetroot sabzi or a simple stir-fry. Cook diced beetroot with spices like mustard seeds, curry leaves, and coconut. You can also stuff it in parathas. Another way is to blend cooked beetroot into hummus or bake it into cakes and brownies. Cooked beetroot also works well in sweet mini pancakes. Its mild sweetness, when paired with jaggery, makes a treat many kids enjoy.
