Boondi Raita

This is a simple raita which can be served as a side dish for parathas, pulav or biriyani. You can prepare this raita in two ways. Either by soaking the boondis in water or by using without soaking. If you are making boondi raita without soaking the boondis, then add the boondis only when it is to be served. So the boondis will remain crunchy.

I have already posted the recipe how to prepare boondi. Check my previous posts or click on menu card for easy access to the recipes.
