Pudina Raita

I made this as a side for the tomato pulao I made today. Just plucked a few sprigs of pudina from the backyard and whipped this up. It is very simple to prepare and has a soothing taste.

Ingredients:

1. Pudina - around 10-15 sprigs
2. Curds - 200 ml
3. Jeera powder - 1/2 tsp
4. Chilli powder - 1/ tsp.
5. Salt/Black salt - to taste 

Procedure:

1. Separate out the leaves of the pudina, wash thoroughly.
2. Grind them to a paste with a tbsp. of curd,  jeera powder and chilli powder in a mixie.
3. Add this paste to the remaining curd and serve as a side with Biryani/Pulao.

If you do not have jeera powder, dry roast jeera and dry grind it in a mixie first. Add the remaining ingredients to this and continue as per step 2.
