What is ‘Raita’?

Raita is a Hindi term for a sauce made with curd. It is the most common Indian side-dish.

A raita is a vegetarian and gluten-free sauce that is served as a side dish with most of the Indian main-course dishes.

There are a variety of raita recipes made with fruits, vegetables, herbs, and spices.

Family Favorite Mint Raita

We love the addition of green color in the raita. The mint raita is a big shout out to the delicious combination of greens and curd. 

The refreshing flavor of textured herbs, the juiciness of pomegranate pearls, the punchy garlic, the sugar, and spices, all together make raita bursting with flavors. 

This anar pudina raita is a family favorite recipe that is passed on from one generation to another. The original idea of adding pomegranate in raita was of my grandmother.

It is an adaptable, quick, extremely delicious, raita recipe. And truly a delicious way to eat lots of pomegranates.

Tips To Make Best Mint Raita

Make sure the curd used for making pudina raita is not sour. 

Whisk the curd nicely using either a hand mixer or a wire whisk to get a smooth texture. 

If you like raita thick, skip mixing water in the yogurt. 

Garlic is added to the flavor. Hence, it is a totally personal choice to include it in the recipe. 

Recipe Variations

Option 1: You can add chopped onion as well in this mint raita. 

Option 2: Instead of making the paste of herbs, you can finely chop them and combine them with the curd. Add the pomegranate and mix nicely.
