Pomegranate raita recipe | Side dish for pulao, paratha

Pomegranate raita is a simple fruit raita that goes well with mild pulao, paratha and can have it as such.

Climate is really hot and these days I don’t feel like eating rice for lunch. That too a big no to the regular cooking- sambar, rice etc. Always feel like drinking something chilled. Coming to today’s post, I usually eat pomegranate as such. Sometimes add chaat masala and have it. This time when I got pomegranate, after making juice for VJ, I wanted to try this pomegranate raita. I just made it simple but the taste was really good. I had as such and it was delicious!

Do not do it deep. Now you can open and break the fruit into four. Carefully collect the fruit with out the white parts/skin .
