Garlic Raita

Garlic Raita

Ingredients

§         Curd (yogurt)      – 2 cups

§         Garlic                 – 3 cloves

§         Black salt to taste

§         Black pepper powder – ¼ tsp

Method

1.      Whisk the curd, so that you don’t have lumps in it.

2.      Grate garlic cloves by a grater having very fine/small grating spikes. You can also use garlic press/garlic grater. The idea is, not to have garlic chunks, as they will not release flavor to the curd and crunching raw garlic wont give you the taste J *

3.      Add the grated garlic to the curd along with black salt and black pepper.

4.      You will love the subtle taste of garlic and enjoy the cool curd.

Serving

Serve chilled. This best combines with Biryani. It not only effectuates coolness but also balances the hot spices of Biryani. It also helps in digestion.

* Alternatively you can fine crush the garlic in a mixer with little water and extract its juice through a muslin cloth.
