    Step by step Boondi Raita recipe with photos of each step. This is a super simple and yummy recipe. You need boondi, (made from chickpea flour batter). You can get these in any Indian store or Nimco shop. You can find the recipe of boondi here.

    Boondi raita served on a plate in a bowl.

    Raita is spiced yogurt sauce. By adding different veggies in it you can make a variety of raita like aloo raita, palak raita, piyaz raita and today I'm sharing a very delicious boondi raita.

    Boondi are tiny, deep-fried, and crispy gram flour dumplings that is added to yogurt to make boondi raita or added to any chat as a crispy condiment.

    Taste

    Ok, these are very much like Dahi bara, but what makes these special is instead of soaking boondi in the water you directly add them in yogurt, the crunchy boondi, along with sweet yogurt, crunchy onion, and potatoes are an absolute delight and treat in the mouth.

    This is not traditional raita, it is next-level delicious and good as a salad on its own too. You can serve it as a snack in the evening or along with any Indian/ Pakistani meal as a delicious side.
