Boondi Raita
Boondi Raita is a quick, flavorsome and salubrious Indian yogurt accomplishment made with crispy besan flour balls soused in a spiced thick yogurt!
Ingredients
- 1 cup thick yogurt
- 1/4 cup warm milk
- 1/2 cup plain or masala boondi
- 1 green chilli finely chopped
- 1/2 tsp cumin powder
- 1/2 tsp red chilli powder
- 1/4 tsp chat masala
- salt to taste
- 1 tbsp cilantro finely chopped
Instructions
- Whisk the yogurt until smooth and creamy. Then add milk and mix well.
- Add green chilli, salt, cumin powder, chat masala and red chilli powder and combine well.
- If you are using plain boondi, you can soak in warm water for 5 mins and then add to spiced raita. Or if its masala boondi, you can add directly to raita.
- Keep in refrigerator for 15 -30 mins before serving.
- Finally garnish with fresh coriander leaves and some boondi for extra crunchiness.
Notes
- Always use thick and fresh yogurt for making raita.
- Whisk the yogurt using a balloon whisk. It make it smooth and creamy.
- You can even soak the plain boondi in warm water for 5 minutes to get rid of excess oil before adding it in the yogurt. But I don't prefer to soak masala or spiced boondi in water as the flavor will goes off.
- Adjust green chillies and red chilli powder according to your preference.
- Adjust the consistency of the raita according to your preference.
