Black Chana Raita (Chickpea with Yogurt)

I am not fond of raita. Usually I like plain yogurt but if there are some special guests that are going to visit my place, I make raita. This Sunday some friends came to my place and I served it with vegetable pulao. They all loved it very much.

Ingredients

1/2 cup soaked black chana

250 grams yogurt

1 small onion finely chopped

2 green chilies chopped

1 tsp cumin powder roasted

1 tsp black salt

1 tsp chat masala

1tp mustard seeds

1 string curry leaves.

1 tsp oil

Procedure

Heat a pan with oil and add black chana. Sauté it for a few minutes.

In the meantime prepare the curd. In a mixing bowl whisk the yogurt .Then add roasted cumin powder, chat masala, salt, and chopped green chili, onion. Mix well. Now add fried chana.

Now heat a small pan with 1 drop of oil. Add mustard seeds, let it splutter then add curry leaves. Now transfer it to the raita. Add required salt. Serve with any parathas or variety of rice

Notes

You can add pepper powder instead of green chili too.

You can avoid the onions if you want.
