Beetroot cucumber raita is very tasty, healthy and easy to prepare raita. I always prefer to eat raita ot some nuts after my workouts inorder to good some instant energy. And this beetroot cucumber raita is one of my favourite as it is filling and keep our tummy cool. We can prepare this raita by boiling beetroot but like to have it fresh by grating, so you don't like the fresh taste of beetrrot you can boil it. I regularly add fried and crushed peanuts to this raita, as peanuts are not available at pantry I did not added.
