- 2 teaspoon coriander leaves finely chopped

- Now add pineapple cubes, pomegranate and coriander leaves.
- Give a quick mix.

Notes
- Use hung curd – If you want thick creamy raita, you can use hung curd. It make raita look rich and fruits don’t sink in bottom.
- Pick sweet pineapple – Ripe pineapple works best, it gives natural sweetness. If pineapple too sour, taste of raita not come good.
- Chill the fruits – If you keep pineapple and pomegranate in fridge before mixing, raita feels extra cooling. I usually do this in summers, it taste so good.
- Don’t overmix – If you stir fruits too much inside curd, it can release juice and make raita watery. Just fold lightly and leave.
- Add nuts – Small chopped cashew or almond give crunch. Not traditional, but I have tried and it taste nice in party version.
