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!
Pomegranate raita
Ingredients
- Curd / Plain yogurt – 1/2 cup
- Pomegranate – 1/4 cup heaped
- Milk – 1/4 cup
- Roasted cumin seeds powder – 1/4 tsp
- Red chilli powder – 1/2 tsp OR
- Green chilli – 1
- Salt – As needed kala namak if you have
Instructions
- This is the way I cut the pomegranate. Slice the head and bottom of the fruit as shown with a small knife (paring knife), cut the skin alone carefully, by running the knife, over the fruit. 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 .
- Beat the curd smoothly with milk, in a mixing bowl, add the other ingredients and mix gently.

I love Pomegranate raita 🙂 I use to serve with Biriyani/Pulao. You can also add Pudina leaves if you like the minty taste. 🙂
I have never tried this…looks very pretty..should try
How come it does not sink? Pretty arrangement.Rathina karkal pola.
If you add for garnish it wont sink 😉 Curd should be thick too
Thank you for the suggestion 🙂
