📖 Recipe Card
Aloo Raita
Ingredients
- 1 cup thick curd
- 1 aloo / potato small cubed
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon red chilli powder
- 1/4 teaspoon chat masala powder
- 1/4 teaspoon jeera powder roasted
- 1 teaspoon sugar optional
- salt to taste
Instructions
- Pressure cook potato for 3-4 whistles until soft but not too mushy. You should be able to cut into cubes thats the correct stage. Set it aside.
- Measure and take curd in a mixing bowl. Whisk it well.
- Add red chilli powder, chat masala powder, roasted jeera powder and required salt and a pinch of sugar.
- I added little more sugar. Mix well.
- Now add cubed potatoes and coriander leaves. Mix well.
- Sprinkle red chilli powder and garnish with coriander leaves.
- Serve with pulao / rotis!
Notes
- You can even use black salt instead of normal salt.
- Use thick curd else the raita would become watery.
- Refrigerate until serving time else the curd will give a sour taste.
- Though I have given sugar as optional, I recommend adding it if you like tangy taste.
