Pomegranate and Mint Raita When the the cool and refreshing yogurt meets with the juicy pomegranate seeds and the freshness of mint, your day kinda becomes super cool!! This raita is very quick to make and I don't need to tell you that it’s packed with flavors, freshness and with the natural goodness of mint and pomegranate.
INGREDIENTS:
Yogurt or Curd- 4 cups Pomegranate arils- 1 cup Salt- 1/2 teaspoon Chaat masala- 1 teaspoon Black pepper powder- 1 teaspoon Pudina masala powder- 1 teaspoon ( I have used MDH pudina masala) Roasted cumin seeds powder- 1/2 teaspoon Mint leaves- handful, chopped
Pomegranate arils and Mint leaves to Garnish
DIRECTIONS: Seeding the pomegranate is the longest step in this recipe. Cut the pomegranate into two halves and gather the seeds in a bowl. Take curd in another bowl and whisk it till it turns smooth and lump free. You can add 1/4 cup or as required, of water to get the desired consistency.
Add all the masalas. Mix well. Wash the mint leaves and finely chop them.
Set aside a few pomegranate arils for garnish and add the remaining pomegranate arils and finely chopped mint leaves to the spiced yogurt and mix well. Garnish with the pomegranate arils and mint leaves. Serve chilled!! Enjoy!!
