Instructions
To make the latkes:
- Grate the beets, zucchini, and onions using the shredding attachment on a food processor and pile the shreds on top of a clean dishtowel. Squeeze out as much liquid as you can, then pour into a large bowl. Add the eggs, arrowroot, cumin, coriander, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
- Add about ½ inch oil to a wide, deep skillet or Dutch oven and warm over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, gently drop the squash mixture by scant ¼-cupfuls into the oil. Let cook for about 10-20 seconds, then gently flatten just a bit with a spatula.
- Cook for about 3 minutes, or until browned. Carefully flip the latkes and continue cooking until the opposite side is browned. Transfer to paper towels to drain. Repeat with remaining beet mixture. (If a lot of liquid begins to accumulate in the bowl, drain the beet mixture again in a sieve before proceeding.) Serve immediately, or transfer to a baking sheet and keep in a warm oven until ready to serve.
To make the yogurt sauce:
- Combine all ingredients in a small bowl and whisk until evenly combined.
