Ingredients

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.
