Bread Raita
Bread gives the yoghurt an interesting texture, like �Dahi Vada�. It is very easy to make.
You can use ready made bread croutons for this recipe.
Serves 4-6
Ingredients
- 2 cups natural yoghurt or dahi
- 2 slices of white bread, toasted
- 1 green chilli-finely chopped (optional
- 1/2 tsp. salt, adjust to taste (black rock salt is good, buy from Indian grocers)
- 1/2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 tsp. coarsely ground, roast cumin seeds (dry roast in microwave or in a wok or frying pan and then coarsely grind in a mortar or grinder)
Instructions
- Slice bread into approximately 1 cm. squares. Keep aside until nearly time to serve.
- Beat yoghurt, salt, black pepper and roast cumin together.
- Add green chillies and mix well. Adjust salt.
- Add bread pieces to yoghurt just before serving, mix gently.
- Serve chilled.
Notes
- You can garnish it with a sprinkle of 1/4 tsp. each of roast cumin powder and chilli powder.
- You can add coriander leaves to the yoghurt to change the flavour.
