Check the salt ..

Then remove from the heat ..

Finally splutter mustard seeds,dry red chilly and curry leaves .

Add this to the curry and mix well..Cover with a lid for few minutes b4 serving ..

If the curd is too sour u can add very small amount of sugar to balance the taste … aarodum parayallee .. 😉

 

Note :very careful while selecting beetroot for pachadi .. take a beetroot and scratch a small portion in the backside of the beet ..when u see dark colour ,its good..otherwise u won’t get this nice colour while making pachadi
