Boondi Raita

This recipe was given to me by a neighbor who often cooks delightful authentic Indian cuisine and was kind enough to share. She describes it as a blend of curd and crispy little golden besan balls and as a very popular variation of the raita and can be eaten with biriyani/pulao or any other gravy dish.

Step: 1

Mix besan, chili powder, and salt together in a bowl. Add water and stir until a drippy batter forms.

Step: 2

Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Place drops of batter into the hot oil using a slotted spoon; fry until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain fried boondi on a paper towel-lined plate.

Step: 3

Combine boondi with yogurt in a bowl. Mix in cumin powder and season with salt. Mix in curry leaves and mustard seed.
