Burani Raita Garlic

🇮🇳 Indian

Garlic-pounded burani raita, the Hyderabadi biryani's cooling partner. The soothing counterpart every spicy plate is quietly asking for. Spoon generously; it disappears fastest of anything on the table.

Prep 10 min Cook 0 min Serves 4 Easy

Ingredients

  • Yogurt2 cups, whisked
  • Salt1 tsp
  • Garlic6 cloves
  • Roasted Cumin1 tsp

Optional extras

  • Green Chili1, finely chopped
  • Fresh Cilantro2 tbsp, chopped

Instructions

  1. 1

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

  2. 2

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

  3. 3

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

  4. 4

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

  5. 5

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

Chef's tip

Taste as you go — chili heat, salt and sourness should all lift each other, not fight.
