  • About

Use Greek yogurt to prepare this tangy, garlicky side dish. It is usually served alongside biryani (pages 467-487).

Ingredients

  • 2 cups (550 grams) plain Greek yogurt
  • 25 to 30 cloves garlic, puréed

Method

  1. Put the yogurt in a bowl. Add the garlic, table salt, black salt, and chile powder, and whisk until well blended. Add the milk and whisk again.
  2. Spread a double layer of cheesecloth over another deep bowl, pour the raita over the cloth, gather the edges, and squeeze the mixture through the cloth to get a smooth raita. Discard the solids.
