About this recipe
The five-minute raita for when guests arrive unannounced — keep a packet of boondi in the cupboard and you're never caught short. Soak the boondi in warm water for two minutes and squeeze gently so it turns pillow-soft instead of staying crunchy; that single step separates a good boondi raita from a chewy one. Whisk the yoghurt loose, season with black salt and cumin, and scatter the boondi just before serving.
