Creamy Mashed Beetroot

I love beetroot. And I hate it too. It is a complicated vegetable to tame. It has a sweet taste, which if not properly used might spoil the whole dish. But it is also a very hearty vegetable. Not only does it taste good as a salad or accompaniment, but if added to the dish properly it gives a lot of color and vibrancy to a plate. 

Low in calories, packed with vitamins, minerals and anti-oxidants this vegetable has a lot of health benefits. And whoever said healthy food is not tasty has never tried this mashed beetroot recipe. Try this once and you will keep making it again.

Ingredients:

1 small beet

1/4 tsp butter

1/4 tsp vinegar

1-2  pods roasted garlic

Salt to taste

1 tbsp sour cream or hung curd

Olive oil- to drizzle

Method:

Boil the beetroot to about 80% done with the skin on. Then remove skin and dice it, drizzle a few drops of olive oil. Roast or grill till completely cooked, also roast a few garlic along with.

Put everything except the curd/cream in a blender and blend. Once it is blended to a nice smooth consistency add a spoon of sour cream or hung curd. Voila!
