Boondi Raita is a great side dish that goes really well with parathas, pulav, and even daal-chawal. Quick and easy to make – Masala Boondi Raita is spicy, tangy and is loaded with flavors.
In a deep mixing bowl, take dahi/Curd. Add a small quantity of water to give it a raita consistency. Whisk it well using a whisker. Initially, add less water as we don’t want the raita to be very thin.
Add jeera powder, rock salt/kala namak, salt, red chili powder. You can adjust these masalas according to your taste. Mix all these well.
Finally, add Masala Boondi and mix it well. Try to add Boondi when you are about to serve or half an hour before.
Now add the tempering. Simply heat oil, add curry leaves and rai. Pour it in the raita and mix well.
Add lots of finely chopped coriander leaves and mix it well.
Keep it in the refrigerator and serve chill. Garnish it with mint leaves or red chili powder.
Chilled Masala Boondi Raita is ready to serve with Parathas, Rice or Puris.
Recipe Notes
If Masala Boondi is old, soak it in hot water for a few minutes and then squeeze the water. Now add it to the raita.
