Beet Soup for Pitta


Beets are a Pitta-pacifying vegetable.

Beets are helpful for balancing Vata and Pitta.

You will need:

  • 1 cup peeled and grated beetroot
  • 1 tbsp Basmati rice, washed and soaked for 30 minutes
  • 1 1/2 cups vegetable stock
  • Rock salt to taste
  • 1/8 tsp fresh ground black pepper
  • 1 tbsp ghee
  • 1 tbsp whipped fresh yogurt
  • 1 tsp chopped fresh basil


Heat the ghee in a pot.

 

Add the beet and the drained rice and sauté briskly over medium heat for 3-4 minutes.

 

Add the vegetable stock and bring to a boil.

 

Turn down heat and simmer covered for about 12-15 minutes on low heat until rice and beet are tender. Add salt and pepper and turn off heat.

 

Blend the soup to a smooth puree in a blender.

 

Return the soup to the stove and heat through again without letting it boil.

 

Garnish with a swirl of yogurt and the chopped basil and serve immediately.
