Fruit Raita Recipe

Fruit raita is the 3rd raita recipe of this season after sabudana and cucumber raita, and vegetable raita. Raita being a cooling side dish, is a perfect accompaniment for spicy Indian food. It is especially beneficial if eaten during summer as it’s good to have more of raw fruits, vegetables and curd in hot weather. However, we make this raita using only fruits and not vegetables. And trust me you, it tastes so yummy that, it can be eaten just like that as a mid-meal snack.

This fruit-based raita is pretty filling and can be eaten as a non-fattening snack on a vrat / fasting day. So if you are looking for recipes of cooling foods for summer or accompaniments or side dish or even healthy mid-meal snack recipes… this raita recipe could well be the answer. Fruits like apple, banana, black grapes, and orange along with spices such as Himalayan black salt, cumin seeds powder, and black pepper powder mixed in curd and milk is a truly delicious combination.

Notes

• You can use any seasonal fruits you like.
• Use fresh curd. Sour curd won’t taste good in this raita.
• Refrigerate fruit raita. It tastes better cold.
• I don’t add sugar in this raita as fruits add in the required sweetness. You can add a pinch of sugar if you want a sweeter raita.
• Some people don’t eat pudina and kala namak while fasting. You can skip pudina in that case and use sendha namak instead of kala namak.
