Instructions
Take curd in a mixing bowl, add water, and whisk to make a smooth mixture. (The mixture should get pouring consistency. I make curd with cow milk so 2-3 tbsp of water was enough for me.)
Add chat masala, red chili powder, jeera powder, sugar, and salt. Mix well.
Add chopped coriander and mix again. (You can refrigerate the curd mixture at this stage if you want to serve cold raita.)
Add boondi and mix well. (Add the boondi just 10 minutes before serving the raita, else it'll become soggy.)
Garnish with red chili powder, jeera powder, chopped coriander, and boondi.

Notes
Tips: Many people prefer to add soft boondi, but I prefer the crunchy boondi. If you want to make this raita with soft boondi, soak boondi in warm water for 5-10 minutes and then squeeze out water before adding it in raita.
If you like dense raita, use 3/4th cup boondi instead of half cup.
