The ‘Cilantro & Mint’ combination can be very addictive, full of flavor and freshness. Try this Cilantro and Mint Raita and you’ll wonder if you are eating the Raita with the Biryani or the Biryani with the Raita. Between us, we think they were ‘made for each other’…
Ingredients:
Cilantro – 15-20 springs
Fresh Mint Leaves (no stalks) – handful
Yogurt/Curd – 1 Cup, well beaten
Salt – to taste
Green Chili – to taste
Roasted Cumin Powder – 1/2 tsp
Chaat Masala – 1/4 tsp
Method:
1. Grind the Cilantro (Coriander leaves), Mint Leaves and Green Chili into a paste with a couple of spoons of Yogurt.
2. Add the Cilantro, Mint & Green Chili paste to the well-beaten Yogurt.
3. Add in the Roasted Cumin Powder, Chaat Masala and Salt.
4. Mix well, chill and serve with Biryani or any other dish.

Looks delicious!
Would also like to know what kind of blender/grinder you’re using. Seems perfect for chutney making…

The chutney was delicious…everything that I have tried has been delicious so far…every single dish..I was wondering if u could show us how to make pani puri..especially the hot pani or watery chutney for pani puri…that would be of great help to me as well as all other viewers.
Thank you!

Hi Jayme,
Chaat Masala is a combination of a bunch of spices including a few different types of salts….some of them very hard to find
Try skipping it and add some Amchur (dry Mango Powder)
Hope you can find that….or just skip it, it’ll still taste great

Hi Hetal and Anuja,
I have had this raitha whenever we order biriyani from the restaurant. I was wondering, how it is made. Thanks for sharing this raitha recipe. I would try it tonight for sure. I usually prepare the onion and tomato raitha. This can be tried for a change.
