📖 Recipe Card
Boondi Raita
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups thick curd / yogurt
- 1/2 cup kara boondi
- 3/4 teaspoon red chilli powder
- 1/2 teaspoon roasted jeera powder / chat masala powder
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper powder optional
- few coriander leaves chopped finely
- salt to taste
Instructions
- Get all your ingredients ready.
- Whisk yogurt till smooth.
- Add all other ingredients to the whisked yogurt and give a quick stir.
- Garnish with the remaining roasted cumin seed powder, coriander leaves and red chilli powder.
- Serve Boondi Raita chilled with hot parathas, biryani or pulao!
Notes
- Serve immediately after mixing else the boondis will absorb the curd and it will become soggy. But if you like your boondi soft then you can mix and keep it for resting for a while.
- I love chat masala powder sprinkled than mixing with the raita.
- You can soak boondi in warm water for 2 mins and squeeze out the water, then use it for raita. This can be done to remove excess oil.

Raitas are my favorite. I wanted to make boondhi raita when I made boondhi sometime back, but the boondhis just vanished in a few minutes :). Looks lovely Sharmi.

How to pack this for lunch?? I mean can we mix the masalas in curd and take it? Just before eating we can mix boondi right?
Sharmilee J
Yes thats best.I usually mix the masalas with the boondi and pack curd separately.
