Pomegranate Raita


This is a recipe I picked up from my mom in law who is an excellent cook. All you need to make this is:
1.  A cup of pomegranate seeds - the red juicy ones
     2 cups of thick curd - yoghurt
     Salt to taste
2.  Mustard seeds -1/4 tsp
     Green chillies, split into two - 2 (More if you like it hot)
     Curry Leaves - 5 to 6 leaves
     Oil - 1 tbsp

Mix no. 1 ingredients together and move it to a serving bowl. Heat oil in a small pan. Add the mustard seeds, once they splutter add green chillies and curry leaves. Fry for a minute and let it cool. Pour this on top of the pomegranate-yogurt mixture. Voila, your dish is ready. It tastes yum with Ghee rice and Chicken curry.

  2. You could make it with grated carrots/beetroot or with small (sambar) onion.
    Only difference is that these should be added to the pan after seasoning with mustard/curry leaves/chillies
