Ingredients
- 1 cup yogurt (240 grams, I used plain whole milk yogurt)
- 1/2 cup water (or as needed to adjust the consistency as per preference)
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin powder
- 1/8-1/4 teaspoon red chili powder (adjust to taste)
- 1/4 teaspoon black salt
- salt (to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar (optional, but recommended)
- 1/4 cup chopped mint leaves
- 1/4 cup chopped mango pieces ( + more to garnish)
Method
- To a large bowl add 1 cup of yogurt. Whisk it well using a wire whisk. Now, add water as much as needed to adjust the consistency of raita to preference. I added around 1/2 cup of water. The amount of water will vary depending on how thick your yogurt was, to begin with and the consistency of raita you prefer.
- Add the spices: 1//2 teaspoon cumin powder, 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon red chili powder, and 1/4 teaspoon black salt. Also, add regular salt to taste and 1/2 teaspoon sugar (optional but recommended). Mix until everything is well combined.
- Add 1/4 cup chopped mint and 1/4 cup chopped fresh mangoes. Stir to combine. Chill the raita for 2 hours before serving. Garnish with more mangoes and serve chilled. You can also sprinkle some Kashmiri red chili powder on top before serving.
