BOONDI RAITA

Raitas are good accompaniment for pulao.  We also like to eat with roti if we make dry subzi.  We can make varieties of raitas with cucumber, beetroot, lady's finger, banana stem, mix veg etc.  Here I am presenting Boondi raita.  For making boondi raita, we need kaara boondi or plain boondi.

Let us have a look at the recipe now:

1/2 cup beaten curd

2 tbsp boondi

salt

chopped coriander leaves

chilli powder, roasted cumin powder, chaat masala, sugar  as per taste.

Method:

Whisk  the curd and put it in a mixing bowl.  soak the boondi in hot water for 5 minutes (you can also add without soaking)  and take out and drain  the excess water  and add to the curd.  add salt, little  chilli powder, cumin powder, chaat masala, sugar and mix well.  garnish with coriander leaves, chilli powder and cumin powder. Serv  as it is or chilled.
