Directions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 400°F. Wrap beets in foil and bake for 75 minutes or until fork tender and skins rub off easily. Refrigerate the beets for 4 to 6 hours. Peel and chop into 1/2-inch cubes and set aside.
Step 2
Take a dry skillet and toast cumin seeds on low-medium heat, moving seeds frequently as not to burn them. Takes roughly 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from skillet and grind using spice grinder or mortar and pestle.
Step 3
In a large bowl whisk the cumin, black pepper, and salt into the yogurt. Gently fold the beets, ginger, cilantro, cashews, and lemon juice.
Step 4
Heat the oil in a small sauce pan and pop the mustard seeds. Immediately pour the oil and seeds over the yogurt and fold together. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
Notes & Variations
- If without a spice grinder or are overwhelmed by the idea of toasting seeds, use pre-ground cumin. We highly encourage you to give it a try! Toasting and grinding the spices yourself gives a dish unbelievable flavor.
