Pachadi refers to a traditional South Indian side-dish. In Kerala and Tamilnadu, pachadi is a side-dish curry similar to the north Indian Raita. There are different varieties of pachadis .

Beetroot Pachadi is made with cooked beetroot and plain yogurt and has a bit sweet taste. Many varieties made of the same key recipe exist in different parts of Kerala. It’s served on the occasion of Onam, Vishu, and on Kerala Sadya.

Beets are highly nutritious and loaded with health-promoting properties. They can support the health of your brain, heart, and digestive system, be a great addition to a balanced diet, boost athletic performance, help alleviate inflammation, and possibly slow the growth of cancer cells.

Beets are rich in folate (vitamin B9) which helps cells grow and function. Folate plays a key role in controlling damage to blood vessels, which can reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke. Beets are naturally high in nitrates, which are turned into nitric oxide in the body.
