RECIPE INSTRUCTIONS

» How to Make Mango Raita

1. To a large bowl add 1.5 cups of thick yogurt. After that, add chilled water to adjust the consistency of the raita. The amount of liquid depends on the thickness of the yogurt and your taste preference. I added about 1/2 cup of water. Then add mango puree, chopped mint, and coriander leaves.
2. Also add chopped mangos, ground black pepper, roasted cumin powder, mint powder, and sugar, if using. Mix everything well until combined.
3. Garnish with red pepper flakes, mango chunks, and chopped mint coriander leaves. Serve mango raita immediately or refrigerate for 2-3 hours or until chilled.

RECIPE NOTES

1. I used chilled water to thin out the yogurt, but you can also use chilled milk.
2. If your yogurt is not thick, then there is no need to dilute it.
3. The yogurt should be creamy without any chunks. So if you are using homemade yogurt, then make sure to whisk or strain it before making raita.
