    Makhana Raita – An easy and tasty raita made with phool makhana or puffed lotus seeds.This Makhana Raita  is very easy to make just toast makhana, mix with curd along with spices and serve, that’s it see I’ve written the Makhana Raita Recipe here itself.I made it just like we make regular raitas so have not tempered anything, if you prefer you can do a simple tadka with mustard and jeera.

    I always have phool makahana in stock as mittu loves it.When I was searching for easy makhana recipes came across this healthy makhana raita , tried it the next day itself and we loved it so much.

    This phool makhana raita can be paired up with rotis or parathas or pulaos or even had as such.

    Ingredients

    • 1 cup thick curd
    • 1/2 cup phool makhana
    • 1/2 teaspoon red chilli powder
    • 1/4 teaspoon roasted jeera powder
    • 1/4 teaspoon garam masala powder
    • 1 teaspoon sugar
    • salt to taste
    • 2 teaspoon coriander leaves chopped finely

    Instructions

    • In a pan add the makhana and start roasting it. Roast it in low flame. If you want to verify if its done, just pop one or 2 in your mouth it should be crispy then its done else roast for some more time. Set aside.
    • In a mixing bowl take curd. Whisk it well to make it smooth.
    • Add salt, sugar along with red chilli powder, garam masala powder and jeera powder. Mix well with a spoon.
    • Add half of makhana as such and half of it roughly broken. Mix well. Garnish with coriander leaves and serve. Enjoy Makhana Raita!

    Notes

    • Serve immediately after adding makhana. Else make the raita ready without adding roasted makhana and while serving you can add makhana alone.
    • Refrigerate until serving time.
    • My curd was not sour so didn't add milk, if you prefer add a tablespoon milk.
    • We love sweet raita so added sugar if you don't want then skip sugar.
