Boondi Raita recipe. A yogurt-based condiment made with adding fried boondi made with gram flour and flavored with spices and herbs. A popular Indian dish paired with most dry vegetables and curry dishes. A staple in all Indian homes, especially during summers.

Boondi Raita

Raita is an Indian dish made with yogurt, spice powders, and veggies like onions, cucumbers & carrots. Also, make with herbs like mint and coriander. Raita is usually accompanied with biryani, pilaf, or dry veggies, or kebabs.

This is a simple but flavor full recipe of raita. Although it takes 5 minutes to prepare it, if you keep in mind a few key points, you can enhance the flavors a bit.

Points to remember while making raita:

  1. The curd you use should not be sour. Taste the plain curd, if you feel a little tanginess, add a little milk to it instead of water for consistency.
  2. Do not use the market-bought Bhuna jeera powder. Instead, use homemade Bhuna Jeera/ Roasted cumin seeds powder for better flavor and aroma. You can check the steps as to how to make the perfect Bhuna Jeera/ Roasted cumin powder at home here- Bhuna Jeera Powder recipe.
  3. The consistency: Some people like it runny and thin and some like it a bit thick. My advice- aloo raita should be served a bit thick. But boondi raita should be runny and not thick. It tastes better. The consistency should be like that of chaas/ buttermilk.

For Aloo raita recipe: Aloo Raita.

Boondi raita compliments and is served with many Indian curries and veggies. Some popular choices are.
