Mango Raita Recipe: How to make Mango Raita Recipe

This is the first time I made Mango Raita…. adapted from the book Indian Cookery. The Mango Raita was amazing. I do not know how to describe its taste. It was awesome. I made it as an accompaniment with Veg Pulao.

This time, I decided to make Mango Raita instead of the regular onion-tomato or mint raita. This recipe uses ripe sweet mangoes. I have used alphonso mangoes, but one could use any variety of sweet mangoes.

It was so good, that I have decided to make it often till the mango season is on in India.

I have changed the raita recipe, but only in a few aspects. I added sugar to the curd. Its not essential but since I have a sweet tooth, I decided to add some sugar.

The original raita recipe calls for 1 tbsp of mustard seeds and 1/2 tsp fenugreek seeds. I used 1 tsp mustard seeds and 1/4 tsp fenugreek seeds. Also, I have used whole red chillies. The original recipe asked to deseed the red chillies and chop them finely.

7. If you do not like the mustard seeds or fenugreek to be seen in the raita, then strain the ghee and discard the seeds. Stir the ghee into the yoghurt mixture. Garnish with coriander leaves.

9. To get a fuller and creamier taste, it is better to use full cream yoghurt or curd.
