Ingredients
- 500 grams Plain yogurt
- 100 milliliters Water
- 100 grams Store-bought plain boondi
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Black salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Regular salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 2 tablespoons Fresh coriander leaves
- 1 unit Green chili
Directions
Step 1
In a large bowl, whisk the plain yogurt until smooth and creamy.
Step 2
Add 100 milliliters of water to the yogurt and mix well to achieve a slightly runny consistency.
Step 3
Gently fold the store-bought plain boondi into the yogurt mixture. Let it soak for 10 minutes so that it absorbs some moisture and softens slightly.
Step 4
In a small pan, dry roast the cumin seeds on low heat until they become aromatic, approximately 2 minutes. Allow them to cool, then grind them into a fine powder using a mortar and pestle or spice grinder.
Step 5
Add the roasted cumin powder, black salt, regular salt, and red chili powder to the yogurt and boondi mixture. Mix everything well.
Step 6
Finely chop the fresh coriander leaves and green chili. Add them to the raita, and stir to combine.
Step 7
Let the raita sit for an additional 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 8
Serve the sugar-free boondi raita chilled, garnished with a few extra coriander leaves if desired.
