Boondi Raita Soft

🇮🇳 Indian

Boondi raita with swollen pearls, the biryani thali's soft counterpoint. Cool, spiced and always welcome next to something fiery. Serve chilled with biryani, pulao or parathas.

Prep 11 min Cook 2 min Serves 3 Easy

Ingredients

  • Yogurt2 cups, whisked
  • Salt1 tsp
  • Chaat Masala1 tsp
  • Roasted Cumin1 tsp

Optional extras

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

Instructions

  1. 1

    Whisk the yogurt till smooth and pourable; thick curds want a spoon of milk or water.

  2. 2

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

  3. 3

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

  4. 4

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

  5. 5

    Garnish with the chaat masala and a final pinch of roasted cumin.

Chef's tip

Fresh spices make the dish — if yours smell of nothing, the dish will taste of nothing.
