Marinate the chicken. This can even be done the night prior. Roast the beets. Start the dal. Make the creamy accompaniment to the raita. When the beets & lentils have about 20 minutes left, grill the chicken. Toss the raita and serve the chicken with the dal.
Slightly sweet, creamy glaze with a touch of spice (as much as you like). Want this dairy free? Substitute the thick top part of coconut milk, instead. If you can’t find mangoes use all yogurt instead.
Raita is a cooling cucumber condiment found alongside spicy Indian dishes. Mixing in bites of roasted beets is a seasonal substitute when cucumbers are not quite ready. They add a sweet pink twist.
The popular Indian chef Madhur Jaffrey states that dal simply means split beans. Therefore there are endless variations of dal. This is a rather simple recipe with a touch of garam masala curry. If you cannot find a curry blend, make your own with a medley of cumin, mustard, coriander to taste.
