Jamun Raita Recipe Naaval Pazham Raita Recipe

About this Recipe

Raita is an Indian side dish made of dahi and raw or cooked vegetables, rarely fruit, or, in the case of boondi raita, fried droplets of batter made from besan. In Western cuisine, the closest approximation is a side dish or dip, or a cooked dish. Any raita brightens up your meal and cools your palate. It has a lightly sour yoghurt flavour and some freshness from the veggies and herbs. As a result, it goes well with fiery or spicy gravies or curries. I added some roasted cumin powder, chaat masala, black salt in the yogurt to give a different flavour and taste to this.

Why is raita served with biryani?

Yogurt contains probiotics, which are beneficial to our digestive system and aid in the elimination of constipation, bloating, and other symptoms. It balances the taste of the spice with its sourness and cooling effect when we eat spicy food like pulao or biryani.

Ingredients for Jamun Raita Recipe :

Jamun / Naaval Pazham - 20 deseeded and chopped Plain Yogurt / Thick Curd - 2 cups Black Salt - ¼ tsp Roasted Cumin Powder - ½ tsp Chaat Masala Powder - ½ tsp or to taste

Jamun / Naaval Pazham : Jamun fruits have a flavour that is subtly sweet, tart, and sour, with an astringent aftertaste. The sweetness will vary depending on the fruit, and it is important to note that when consumed, the juice will stain the lips and mouth, sometimes for several hours. Black Salt : Black salt is high in antioxidants and has a low sodium content. It also contains essential minerals such as iron, calcium, and magnesium, which are necessary for a healthy body. Black salt stimulates bile production in the liver and aids in the management of heartburn and bloating.
