Pomegranate raita is a flavourful raita filled with the crunchiness of pomegranate kernels.

RECIPE:

Ingredients

• 1 cup fresh thick curds
• 1/4th cup fresh pomegranate kernels
• 6 to 8 fresh mint leaves
• 1/4th tsp roasted cumin powder(adjust to taste)
• A pinch of black salt (optional but it gives added flavour to the raita)
• Sugar to taste
• Salt to taste
• A few pomegranate kernels and 2 mint leaves to garnish

METHOD:

In a mixing bowl whisk thick curds, add pomegranate kernels, black salt, roasted cumin powder,salt and sugar and mix well.
Referigerate this mix for at least half an hour. Remove from referigerator, add fresh mint leaves (finely chopped)
Mix well, check the flavour of raita and transfer to a serving bowl. Garnish with pomegranate kernels , mint leaves and serve chilled with pulav, biryanis etc.

TIP:

• Add finely chopped fresh mint leaves just before serving because mint leaves turn black and also lose their flavour if chopped in advance.
• Always use fresh curds to prepare raita.
