Aloo Ka Raita Recipe

One another simple side dish from Mughlai cuisine. Aloo raita is different and very filling. This is a refreshing Indian recipe.
This goes great for rice or pulao (with mild flavors) or even rotis.

You need:
Yoghurt, whisked - 1 cup
Potatoes - 2 boiled, peeled, cooled, diced
chopped coriander leaves - a handful
Mint leaves - 1 tsp chopped finely
Green chilli, deseeded, chopped fine
roasted ground cumin seeds
red chilli powder - 1/2 tsp
chaat masala - 1/2 tsp (optional)
Salt to taste
Oil to saute (1 tsp approx)

In a skillet, add a tsp oil. Once hot add the potatoes. Along with it add the salt, red chilli powder, cumin powder, green chillies. Saute for a while and add this to the curd (yoghurt) and mix well. Taste and adjust seasoning. Add the coriander leaves and mint leaves. Mix well.
Transfer to a serving bowl. Garnish with roasted cumin powder and chat masala. Refrigerate until required .

I prepared the raita for my paneer peas pulao. Sundar couldn't say which was better to the other. You can have them for your plain parathas too!
