Ingredients
- 1 cup Plain Greek yogurt
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup Water
- 0.5 teaspoon Cumin powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 1 tablespoon Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Spread the cheddar cheese in small clusters (about a teaspoon each) on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced apart.
Step 3
Bake the cheese for 7-10 minutes or until they are bubbly and have started to turn golden brown. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
Step 4
Once baked, remove from the oven and let them cool. They will harden into cheese boondi.
Step 5
In a mixing bowl, whisk the Greek yogurt with water until smooth and creamy.
Step 6
Add the cumin powder, red chili powder, and salt to the yogurt and mix well.
Step 7
Add the cooled cheese boondi to the yogurt mixture and gently stir to combine.
Step 8
Transfer the Raita to a serving bowl and garnish with chopped fresh cilantro.
Step 9
Let it chill for about 10 minutes in the refrigerator for best flavors before serving. Enjoy your Keto Boondi Raita as a delightful side to any meal.
