Servings1 cup
Ingredients
- 1 cup thick curd
- 1 tablespoon boiled milk
- 1 mango cubed
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- few strands saffron
- ¼ teaspoon roasted jeera powder
- salt to taste
Instructions
- Take warm milk, add saffron strands to it, let it sit for few minutes. Meanwhile take the curd and whisk it well until creamy.
- Add saffron milk, jeera powder and mix well.
- Now add sugar. Rinse the mango, peel the skin.
- Chop into small cubes, add it to the raita. Reserve few while serving.
- Serve Mango Raita with pulao / rotis!
Notes
- Choose mangoes – I usually used sweet, soft mangoes for that natural sweetness. Avoid using hard mangoes, it makes the raita bit sour.
- Whisk curd properly – I have found whisking curd till smooth makes the raita more creamy and easy to mix well.
- Soak saffron in warm milk – I have soaked saffron in warm milk, this adds a nice color and aroma. You can let it sit bit longer for deeper color.
- Adjust sweetness – I used to taste the mango before adding sugar. Some mangoes is already too sweet, so you may not even need sugar.
- Add ons – I added few chopped nuts like badam or cashew for that crunchy bite and rich taste.
