Boondi Raita


This raita hardly needs any effort to make.  Nonetheless am putting it up.  It is a wonderful accompaniment to pulav's, biryanis and even assorted rotis.  So enjoy this lovely raita with the biryani today.  Boondi is made of chickpea flour and are small little balls which are fried, which look like confetti.  Hmm!!! Not a very healthy option, but once in a while I feel it is ok.  So this is how the raita is made.
Serves: 4
Preparation time: 10 minutes
Ingredients:
Yoghurt
1 cup
Boondi
1/2 cup + 1tbsp
Salt
1/2 tsp
Red chilli powder
A pinch
Chaat masala
A pinch

Method:
1.       Take a cup of yoghurt in a bowl and whish it until smooth.
2.       Add salt and the boondi and mix well.
3.       Decorate the raita with the red chilli powder and chaat masala.
4.       Enjoy.

NOTES:
1.       Make this raita just about when about to eat.  Else it will get too soggy.
2.       Adjust the salt according to your preference as the boondi also has a fair amount of salt.
3.       For variation you can add finely chopped onions in the raita.
