Ingredients

  • Boiled potato - 1 medium sized
  • Curd / Yogurt - 4 tbsp
  • Black salt - 1/4 tsp
  • Roasted cumin powder - 1/4 tsp
  • Chat masala - 1/5 tsp
  • Chilli powder - 1/5 tsp optional
  • Chopped coriander or mint leaves - little
  • Salt - as per taste
  • Sugar - 3 pinch

Instructions

  • Cut the boiled potato into small cubes. Beat the curd/yogurt nicely. It should be smooth consistency.
  • Once the yogurt attains the smooth consistency, add the black salt, salt, roasted cumin powder, chat masala, sugar and Chilli powder. (In this recipe I didn't add the chilli powder as my lo didn't eat the mango raita, in which I added the chilli powder).
  • Add the potato cubes and mix thoroughlly.
  • Garnish with coriander leaves or mint leaves and serve it.
  • Yummy yummy Aloo Raita is ready.

Notes

  1. As I mentioned already in step 3, I didn't add the chilli powder., as my lo doesn't eat if it is spicy. But the original recipe calls for chilli powder.
  2. You can also add chopped green chillies and chopped mint or coriander leaves to the raita. I used coriander leaves for garnishing alone.
  3. Chat masala can also be replaced by little amchoor powder or dry pomegranate powder.
