Braised Beet Salad   ...More   Back To Top Cookbook author and chef, Raghavan Iyer creates a delicious salad that can be served warm or cold.  Even though the ingredient list appears long, in reality, there are only ten items that you will need for an unbelievably layered dish (chef talk for complex flavors with each morsel.)  Indians are masters at extracting many flavors from any ingredient and here you will see ginger used in two ways (stir-fried in the beets for a sharper taste; pureed raw in the dressing for a pungency that balances sweet raisins and sour vinegar) to create a symphony of flavors.  Green salads like this one are not classic to regional Indian fare but the spices in the beets sing Indian (mustard seeds popped the southern way) while the beets themselves (called chukander ) belt out the hearty north.
