7.Salt to taste

METHOD:

1.Firstly we boil the beet.Then let the beet cool down.

2.When the beet cools down then in a mixer grinder put the beet and green chilli and
   grind well till you get a smooth paste.

3.Now add this paste to the curd and mix well.Add salt.If you want the mixture to be
   thinner you can add half a cup of water.Set the mixture aside for sometime.
