Boondi Raita
Boondi Raita is a popular Indian condiment made with yogurt, boondi (small chickpea flour balls) and is seasoned with a few Indian spices and garnished with coriander. It pairs perfect with spicy dishes, Pulao and Biryani's.
Ingredients
- ½ cup boondi
- ¾ cup yogurt
- ¼ cup water or milk or as required
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- ¼ teaspoon chaat masala
- ½ teaspoon roasted cumin seeds powder
- ¼ to ½ teaspoon red chilli powder
- ¼ teaspoon black salt optional - can be switched with reg salt
- salt and black pepper to taste
- 1-2 tablespoon finely chopped coriander leaves
Instructions
- In a bowl add the curd and whisk until smooth.
- Add all the spices like sugar, chaat masala, roasted cumin seeds powder, red chilli powder, black salt, salt and pepper along with ¼ cup water and mix well.
- Next add the boondi -
- If you like crunchy boondi in your Raita don't soak the boondi and add it just before serving.
- If you like the soft kind you soak it in warm water for 10 mins, drain and then add to the spiced yogurt.
- Or add it to the yogurt directly and let it sit for some time. With this method, you will need to add more water/milk since the boondi will absorb the liquid to swell.
- Adjust the raita consistency adding water or milk for richer taste
- Garnish with coriander leaves.
