Recipe Notes and Tips:

  • You can adjust the spices as per your taste.
  • Make sure that the yogurt you’re using is not sour.
  • If your raita is too thick, you can simply add some water, buttermilk or milk to get the desired consistency. I added ½ cup of water because I used quite thick and creamy yogurt.

For soft boondi:

  • I prefer adding bondi pearls directly to the raita without soaking it as the boondi soaks up the liquid in raita so quickly. Let the raita refrigerate for few minutes before serving until the boondi balls are soft.
  • You can also soak the boondi balls in lukewarm water for few minutes, strain with a strainer and then use in raita.

Variations:

  • Add some chopped green chilies for more chili kick.
  • You can also add in some finely chopped cucumber or green coriander if you like.
  • I use thick Greek yogurt, but you can use buttermilk (just skip adding water if you are using buttermilk).
  • I often add frozen chutney cube to my raita for more flavor.
  • To make this raita recipe vegan, use a plant based yogurt like cashew yogurt or almond yogurt.
