Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup yogurt
  • ½ cup boondi
  • ½ teaspoon cumin powder
  • ¼ teaspoon red chili powder
  • ¼ teaspoon chaat masala
  • ½ teaspoon sugar
  • ½ teaspoon chopped cilantro
  • Salt to taste

Instructions
 

  • Soak the boondi in warm water in a medium bowl. Meanwhile, whisk the yogurt and add the chaat masala, red chili powder, cumin powder, and salt.
  • Squeeze the excess water from the boondi and add it to the seasoned yogurt.
  • Mix well to combine.
  • Garnish with some crispy boondi, red chili powder, and chopped coriander leaves before you serve.

Notes

  • If you’re making raita for the first time, start with a little bit of the seasonings and salt, do a quick taste test, and add more if needed. 
  • If you want to make this quicker, you can skip soaking the boondi in water, and just add the plain boondi to the whisked yogurt mixture and let it sit for a few minutes before you serve it. Remember that soaking essentially removes the excess oil from the boondi, making it healthier.
  • If your yogurt is too thick, you can add a splash of chilled water to it and give it a quick mix to adjust the consistency.
