Hyderabadi Burani Raita

🇮🇳 Indian

Burani raita, garlic-heavy cooling sauce built for biryani. Cool, spiced and always welcome next to something fiery. Essential beside anything with the word 'vindaloo' in it.

Prep 11 min Cook 5 min Serves 4 Easy

Ingredients

  • Yogurt2 cups, whisked
  • Saltto taste
  • Garlic6 cloves
  • Roasted Cumin1 tsp

Optional extras

  • Green Chili1, finely chopped
  • Mint Leaves1/4 cup
  • Fresh Cilantro2 tbsp, chopped

Instructions

  1. 1

    Smooth the yogurt out; grainy raita is a texture crime.

  2. 2

    Prepare the yogurt fine enough that every spoonful gets some.

  3. 3

    Stir the yogurt through with the spices, reserving some cumin for the top.

  4. 4

    Let it sit covered; the salt pulls the flavours together.

  5. 5

    Garnish with the garlic and a final pinch of roasted cumin.

Chef's tip

Grated cucumber should be squeezed dry or the raita turns watery.
