Beetroot Podi Mayo Dip
Beetroot Podi Mayo Dip is a blush-pink, no-cook dip that transforms plain mayonnaise into something with genuine depth — warm colour, a faint coconut undertone, and the peanut body of Earthy Beetroot Podi doing the heavy lifting. Stir two teaspoons of EBP into mayo or hung curd and watch it turn a shade of dusty rose that looks far more effort than it is. Mildly sweet, gently spiced, and ready in two minutes.
Prep: 5 min | Cook: 0 min | Serves: 2 | Difficulty: Easy
Ingredients
- 2 tsp Earthy Beetroot Podi
- 4 tbsp mayonnaise (or hung curd for a lighter version)
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- a pinch salt (adjust to taste)
- 1 tsp coriander leaves, finely chopped (optional, to finish)
Method
- Spoon the mayonnaise or hung curd into a small bowl — it should be thick enough to hold its shape when stirred.
- Add the Earthy Beetroot Podi and stir in one direction until the mixture turns an even blush-pink — no streaks of white remaining.
- Add the lemon juice and a pinch of salt, then taste. The podi already carries salt, so add carefully.
- Let the dip sit for two minutes — the dehydrated beetroot and coconut in the podi will bloom into the mayo and deepen both the colour and the flavour.
- Finish with finely chopped coriander leaves if using. Serve immediately with veggie sticks, crackers, or as a spread on sandwiches and burgers.

What can I serve Beetroot Podi Mayo Dip with?
It works beautifully as a dip for carrot and cucumber sticks, a spread inside sandwiches or wraps, or a sauce tucked into a veggie burger. The mild sweetness of the Earthy Beetroot Podi means it pairs well with both raw vegetables and toasted bread.
How long can I store beetroot mayo dip in the fridge?
The dip will keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Stir it once before serving again as the Earthy Beetroot Podi may settle slightly. Do not freeze.
Can kids eat this dip?
