Boondi Raita Dahi Boondi Ka Raita My Food Story

on Mar 08, 2022, Updated Jul 04, 2024 Raita is a staple in our house, especially with Indian dishes. While I love experimenting with my raitas, this boondi raita is something I often fall back on. And the best part? It’s ridiculously simple, requires zero prep and is ready in just 5 minutes. Who doesn’t love that, right?

Ingredients for Boondi Raita

All you need for this recipe is boondi (fried gram balls), yogurt (dahi), and a handful of common spices such as green chillies, cumin powder, rock salt, sugar and coriander.

How to make Boondi Raita

A lot of recipes recommend soaking the boondi in warm water for a couple of minutes before adding them to the curd to help soften them. But I prefer to add them directly into the curd as the boondi soaks up the curd pretty quickly, without becoming too soft or soggy. The result? A light, creamy and ultra-refreshing boondi raita with crispy bits of boondi. While serving, I really like to sprinkle the raita with more boondi for texture and crunch. Plus it looks really pretty! This boondi raita tastes delicious with almost all Indian dishes ranging from your basic roti and sabzi to the fancy biryani and everything else in between.
