Pomegranate & Potato in Yogurt | Anardana Aloo Ka Raita Recipe

Pomegranate & Potato in Yogurt | Anardana Aloo Ka Raita Recipe
 
It’s one of those real simple recipes where you don’t need to put in lot of effort or preparations. I make this regularly at home , my daughter loves to have Boondi Raita a lot or for both my kids it has to be plain yogurt with sugar. Fruits in Yogurt, Mango Parfait or Strawberry Parfait. They just love all these.
Anardana Raita is a simple recipe, you need  plain yogurt,  nicely beaten and thick. If you don’t like too thick then you can add in very little water to it. This time when I made it, it was Navratri going on and our fasting day. It goes very well with Navaratri Food and also with regular meals. I love it both with rice and parathas.
All you need to keep in mind is that if you are using the homemade curd then it should not be sour or too liquid, it should be served chilled. So incase you plan to serve this for dinner then do prepare it in the evening and keep the bowl to chill. It tastes great when chilled. Do not add in boiled potatoes to the raita when they are hot, allow them to nicely cool and only then add in to the bowl of curd.
You can also adjust the spices and sugar that needs to be mixed into the Raita. If I make it specifically for my kids then I prefer to keep the spices little less as have shared in the recipe. Else you can also add little chopped green chilies too :) !
Check out this simple and super refreshing Recipe and enjoy!
