Aloo Raita

Mahasrashtrain thali always calls for a salad – koshimbir. But the lazy that I am,  this side dish has taken a back seat. I tend to prepare these only when I’ve family or friends visiting us. And whenever I prepare salads, I plan to prepare them regularly but sadly I always forget. I assembled this simple yet tasty raita on one such occasion, we loved it and yeah I’ve prepared this number of times from then.

I just had a leftover boiled potato in my refrigerator, and experimented this salad, it came out quite well.

You Need :

• Potato: 1 – boiled, peeled and cubed
• Red chilli powder: 1 tsp
• Chaat Masala : 1tsp
• Yogurt: 1/2 cup
• Cumin Powder : 1/2 tsp
• Black Pepper: 1/2 tsp
• Sugar to taste
• Salt to taste
• Coriander leaves - garnishing

You Do:

1. Mix everything in Red with some salt and keep aside.
2. Beat the curd to make a thin paste, mix everything in Blue.
3. Mix both step 2 and 1, together.
4. Garnish with coriander leaves.

Serve as a side dish with Rice or Pulao. Would go well with rotis too.
