Pomegranate Raita or Anar Raita is nice Raita for having its fruity taste. It's little different that our traditional Raita, I generally go for Simple Raita or boondi Raita, but this time making little different.
I have made plane pomegranate Raita with little spices like cumin powder, black pepper powder and salt. Some people add sugar or mint and coriander or onion also. But I want to go with Pomegranate , so we can feel Pomegranate's freshness with yogurt.
We can have pomegranate Raita with any kind of pulao or biryani recipe. If you are more with pomegranate, have Pomegranate Juice.
1.5 cups yogurt/dahi
¾ cup fresh pomegranate/anardana
1 tsp. roasted cumin powder
1 tsp. black pepper powder
a pinch of red chili powder(optional)
1 tsp. chaat masala powder (optional)
salt as per taste
1.Whisk Dahi or yogurt till smooth, so there will be lumps.
2.Sprinkle all spice powders and salt.
3.Add pomegranate and use few for garnishing
4.Mix well and serve in a bowl with pomegranate sprinkled on it. For more freshness, add mint or coriander leaves to garnish.
5.Refrigerate for 10-15 minutes, so it gives nice feeling when you eat chilled.
