How to Make Beetroot Dahi Sandwich

1. Prepare the Beetroot

Take one beetroot, peel, wash, and grate it finely. If you’re not a fan of the raw taste, lightly cook it in a pan for 2-3 minutes.

2. Use Hung Curd

Hung curd is key to this recipe. To prepare it, take a cup of plain curd and tie it in a muslin cloth. Hang it in your kitchen for a few hours to drain the excess water. Alternatively, you can place the curd in a bowl and set a heavy object on top to remove the whey.

3. Make the Filling

In a mixing bowl, combine the grated beetroot with the hung curd. Add finely chopped onion, green chilli, a pinch of black pepper, oregano, and salt to taste. Mix everything well and set aside.

4. Assemble the Sandwich

Take two slices of bread and spread the beetroot-curd filling evenly on one side. Top with another slice to make a sandwich. You can enjoy it as is or toast it for added flavour and crunch.

5. Toast with tempering 

For an extra twist, add a spoon of ghee or butter to a pan. Toss in half a teaspoon of mustard seeds, a pinch of red chilli powder, and a few curry leaves. Let it splutter for a few seconds, then toast the sandwiches on both sides until golden and crisp.
