Pomegranate Raita

Pomegranate Raita

It took me some time to convince Mrs Mea Smoke Fire that this tasty tamarind chutney would be a great addition to any Indian spiced dish.  You’ll see, it contains banana ketchup and banana is one of the very few foods that Helena doesn’t like!

We made Indian Sweet Potato with Mint Parathas and served it with this Tangy Tamarind Chutney together with a Zingy Green Chutney  We loved this dish and two chutney added an intense and contrasting flavour to the dish.

We think this chutney could also be served as an alternative condiment to a poppadum starter or with our famous onion bhajis.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup greek yogurt
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • ½ tsp Chaat Masala Powder
  • ¼ black salt
  • ¼ tsp Kashmiri chilli powder
  • ½ tsp ground cumin
  • juice from half a lime
  • 2 tbsp mint leaves, finely chopped
  • ½ cup pomegranate seeds

    Method

    1. Put the yogurt in a small bowl, use a whisk to gently beat until smooth.
    2. Add all the spices and the lime juice to the yogurt and give it a good zhuzh!
    3. Reserve a few pomegranate seeds and some mint to sprinkle over the finished raita.
    4. Stir the remaining pomegranate seeds and the mint into the yogurt.
    5. Taste and adjust the seasoning.
    6. Set aside in the fridge until you’re ready to eat.
    7. We served alongside some Jerk Pork to cut throught the heat of the marinade.
