Raita PDF Print E-mail
Raita is a cooling, yoghourt-based accompaniment to curries. There are differrent varieties of raita, both sweet and savoury. The type of yoghourt used in India is usually thicker than here so using a Greek Style yoghourt is better. This recipe is sufficient for six people.

raisins2 tablespoons slivered almonds
3 tablespoons currants
200g Jalna Greek Style Natural or BioDynamic Yoghourt
200g light sour cream
1 tablespoon golden syrup
2 bananas, chopped
1/2 cup dessicated coconut

  • Soak 1/3 of the almonds and all the currants in hot water for 10 minutes. Drain.
  • Mix together all ingredients except remaining almonds.
  • Toast the remaining almonds, sprinkle over the top.
