Pomegranate raita recipe | Side dish for pulao, paratha

April 1, 2015 by Raks Anand 11 Comments / Jump to Recipe

madhulam-pazham-raita
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-recipe

Pomegranate raita is a simple fruit raita that goes well with mild pulao, paratha and can have it as such.
Course Side Dish
Cuisine Indian
Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 0 minutes
Servings 2
Cup measurements

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. 🙂
