Raita is a yogurt based condiment. It is simple yet nutritious; different vegetables like tomatoes, cucumber, carrots, onion can be used. Usually all these vegetables are used in the raw format; where as for an Aloo Raita/ the potato is cooked and added to seasoned yogurt/curd. Goes well with pulav, biryani, chapathis/rotis.
Ingredients:
- 1 big potato
- 1 cup yogurt/ Curd
- 2 cup chopped onions
- 2-3 green chillies (slit) /substitute with red chilli powder
- Handful of chopped coriander leaves
- Salt
Seasoning/ Tadka:
- 1 tsp Mustard seeds
- 1 tsp cumin seeds
- 4-5 Curry leaves
- oil
Method:
- Boil the potato along with the skin. Peel the skin and then coarsely mash the potato (with your hands, it is ok to leave lumps in between)
- In a bowl beat the yogurt well along with little water. Add salt, green chillies, onions, coriander leaves and mix.
- Add the boiled mashed potatoes and mix again.
- Make a seasoning of mustard seeds, cumin seed sand curry leaves. Pour this on the potato mixture and mix.
- Goes well with pulao, biryani or even with chapathis/rotis.
