Course Salads
Servings 3 people

Ingredients

  • 1 cup curd
  • 1/2 cup boondi
  • 3/4th tsp chat masala
  • 3/4th tsp red chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp roasted cumin seeds powder jeera powder
  • 1/2 tsp sugar
  • 2-3 tbsp chopped coriander
  • salt to taste

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.
