mango raita recipe with step by step photos – sweet and tasty raita made with ripe sweet mangoes. this mango raita was amazing to taste. i do not know how to describe its taste. it was simply 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 boondi raita or cucumber raita. this mango raita 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 one posted one more easy mango raita recipe in which tempering is not added.

this mango raita is adapted from the book ‘indian cookery’. 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 ½ tsp fenugreek seeds. i used 1 tsp mustard seeds and ¼ tsp fenugreek seeds. also, i have used whole red chillies. the original recipe asked to deseed the red chillies and chop them finely.

you can serve mango raita as a side dish with roti-sabzi or dal rice combo.
