    WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF PUDINA RAITA?

    This condiment/dip holds a distinguished position as one of Pakistan's most beloved, celebrated for its cooling attributes derived from the harmonious combination of mint and yogurt, a quality that becomes particularly invaluable during the sweltering summer months. It registers as entirely devoid of any spiciness.

    • Aloo Chawal
    • Matar Chawal
    • Aloo Keema
    • Palak Keema
    • Aloo Matar Keema
    • Chicken Biryani
    • Mutton Pulao
    • Beef Biryani
    • Chicken Pulao

    DIFFERENT VARIATION OF THIS RAITA

    Pudina Raita serves as a versatile platform for culinary innovation, offering ample opportunities for adaptations and improvements. To unleash your creativity, consider integrating ingredients like tomatoes, radishes, green peppers, or fragrant herbs such as basil. These additions can elevate the flavor profile and take your raita to new heights of taste and sophistication.

    INGREDIENTS

    • Yogurt- Feel free to utilize your preferred variety of plain yogurt for this preparation.
    • Mint- Ensure that you exclude the mint stems and focus solely on the leaves. Be meticulous in plucking off all the required leaves.
    • Black salt- This raita features an exceptionally distinctive ingredient.
    • Chaat masala- Incorporate chaat masala into this recipe to introduce an additional layer of nuanced tanginess.

    HOW TO PREPARE PUDINA RAITA(MINT RAITA)?

    Add mint mixture in with yogurt in a bowl.

    Add chaat masala and other seasonings.

    Mix well!

    HOW TO STORE THIS RAITA?

    Storing Pudina Raita in the refrigerator is a simple and effective way to extend its freshness, with a shelf life of approximately 3-4 days. However, it's essential to note that this condiment/dip does not do well in the freezer. If frozen and subsequently thawed, the raita's texture will transform, becoming excessively watery rather than retaining its creamy consistency. This observation is based on firsthand experience, emphasizing the importance of proper storage.
