We make this Raita very often. Once you have the Boondi ready its made in a jiffy.

Normally many would soak the Boondi in water for some time to soften it and then add to the yogurt, but I like mine crisp so add it at the last minute just before eating. My husband likes it soft though so I make the yogurt mixture, divide it in half and then soak the boondis in it for half an hour. And then add mine later just before eating.

Ingredients
2 cups plain yogurt
1/4 cup milk
1/2 tsp red chili powder
1/4 tsp cumin powder
1/4 tsp chat masala (optional)
salt to taste
3/4 cup Boondi
2 tbsp fresh coriander leaves

Method

  1. Beat the yogurt well, add the milk and beat again.
  2. Add the spices, red chili powder, cumin powder, chat masala and salt. Mix well to combine.
  3. store in the fridge till serving time.

    • If you like the Boondi soft soak it in some water for 10 minutes, then drain and press gently between hands to remove excess water and add to the yogurt mixture.
    • If you want to skip the above step and still want the Boondi to be soft, you can add it now and let it sit in the yogurt mixture for 1/2 hour.
    • If you want it crisp like I want, add it to the yogurt mixture just before serving.

  4. Garnish with coriander leaves and serve.
