About Boondi raita

Boondi Raita is a popular Indian side dish made by mixing crispy, fried gram flour droplets (boondi) with creamy yogurt, often flavored with spices like cumin, black salt, and chaat masala. This refreshing dish originates from Indian cuisine and is commonly enjoyed as a cooling accompaniment to spicy curries, biryanis, or parathas. Yogurt, the base ingredient, is a rich source of protein, calcium, and probiotics that support digestion and gut health. The spices add a layer of flavor while offering potential anti-inflammatory benefits. However, the fried boondi contributes extra calories and fat, making portion control key for those monitoring their intake. For a healthier variation, you can opt for roasted or baked boondi. This delicious blend of textures and flavors makes Boondi Raita a balanced complement to a variety of dishes.
