Try this refreshing Boondi Raita made with yogurt, boondi, and other spices. This raita is extremely easy to make and serve instantly.
Boondi raita is the most sought-after raitas in Indian cuisine. During the summer season, raita is a staple in almost every home. A biryani or kabab is always incomplete without this refreshing salad.
What is Boondi?
Boondis are crispy deep-fried tiny balls made with chickpea flour batter. This can either be prepared at home or can be bought from a store. Buying readymade boondi of a good brand can save a lot of time.
Step by step method of making a perfect Boondi Raita
Boondi Raita is made either with homemade boondis or with store-bought ones. Both versions are equally delicious. However, the store-bought or readymade boondis save a lot of time and makes the process easier.
- The first step is to soak the boondis just like how vadas are soaked for making Dahi vada.
- Prepare the yogurt with all the spices and other chopped ingredients. Read more in the recipe card below.
