Anar Ka Raita

🇮🇳 Indian

Pomegranate raita, jewel-studded and festive. Yogurt's finest hour, ten minutes of effort. Essential beside anything with the word 'vindaloo' in it.

Prep 12 min Cook 5 min Serves 3 Easy

Ingredients

  • Yogurt2 cups, whisked
  • Saltto taste
  • Pomegranate Seeds1/2 cup
  • Roasted Cumin1 tsp

Optional extras

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

Instructions

  1. 1

    Beat the yogurt until all lumps surrender and it ribbons off the spoon.

  2. 2

    Prep the pomegranate seeds — grate, chop or boil as the dish demands — and let it cool if cooked.

  3. 3

    Fold the pomegranate seeds into the yogurt with roasted cumin, salt and the green chili.

  4. 4

    Chill briefly; cold raita on a hot day is a small mercy.

  5. 5

    Serve cold, dusted with the reserved cumin, chili powder and coriander.

Chef's tip

Roasted cumin powder is the whole personality — make it fresh.
