Urad Dal Raita

Feeling a bit more than experimental, I'm loving to try out a variety of raitas these days.. from Garlic Raita, Mint Onion Raita to Beetroot Raita and Tomato Pachadi... I have been feeling a little more experimental, and a little more confident. So here goes another yoghurt experiment:

Ingredients:

Yoghurt: 1 cup
Urad Dal: 2 tsp.
Green chilli (very finely chopped): 1
Cumin seeds: 1 tsp.
Asafoetida: 1 pinch
Cooking oil: 1 tsp.
Salt to taste

1. Dry roast the urad dal on medium flame till it changes colour to golden brown. Cool and grind to a fine paste.
2. Mix the yoghurt with this powder and mix well.
3. Heat oil in a pan and temper cumin, asafoetida and fry the green chillis for 15-20 seconds. Add to yoghurt and enjoy !
