Not everyone loves beets, and I don’t know that I could just chow down on an entire cooked beet by itself. But if you like them and are wondering how to prepare beets, let me tell you one the easiest ways. My favorite way for cooking beets is in the Instant Pot. This is a classic cold dish that we make in India, and it’s been a while since we made it so I thought I’d try it, especially since having an Instant Pot makes it so easy to cook beets. I cooked them the night before and decided to just leave them in the fridge but they were so easy to peel once they were cooked, even when they were cold.
How To Cook Beets
Instant Pot Beets Cooking Time
When cooking beets for your beetroot salad, it’s important to cook them for the correct amount of time to get the texture just right. Cook them for 12 minutes, using NPR (Natural Pressure Release). Then you’ll want to let them cool completely before trying to peel them. This will make the process much less tedious.
Variations On This Indian Beetroot Salad
I want to show you a slight variation on this salad as well. I’ve used yogurt for a slightly acidic/souring effect in this dish. You can omit the yogurt and use either lemon juice or chopped tomatoes instead. It’s a nice change and actually, it gives you a brighter colored salad, which makes it pretty on a summer lunch table.
