Ingredients
  

  • 1½ cups plain yogurt
  • 1 medium banana
  • 1 medium apple
  • 15-16 black grapes
  • 4-5 cashews roughly chopped ((optional))
  • 4-5 almonds roughly chopped ((optional))
  • 1 tablespoon sugar (or as required per your taste)
  • ¼ teaspoon chaat masala powder or as required
  • A pinch of salt

Instructions
 

  • Take the yogurt in a mixing bowl, and add sugar, a pinch of salt, and chaat masala powder.
  • Using a balloon whisk, mix everything well until the yogurt mixture is smooth.
  • I have used raw sugar, but you can use regular white sugar or cane sugar. Instead of sugar, you can also use other sweeteners like honey or maple syrup.
  • Also, add the sugar as much you prefer. You can also entirely skip the sugar if you like that way.
  • Now peel and chop the banana and apple into small cubes. Cut the grapes into halves.
  • Prepare your fruits only when you are ready to add to the yogurt. Otherwise, fruits like bananas and apples will turn brown.
  • Add the chopped fruits into the yogurt mixture and mix well.
  • Serve the Fruit Raita immediately or let it chill in the fridge until the time of serving.

Serving The Fruit Raita

  • Take the Raita into a serving bowl and garnish it with chopped nuts or chaat masala powder. You can also garnish it with mint leaves or coriander leaves.
  • Serve the mixed fruit raita right away, or let it chill in the fridge until the time of serving.
  • Fruit Raita is best served fresh or within few hours of making. You can store leftovers in the fridge for a couple of days, but the taste may change.

Notes

  1. Fruits: Peel and chop the fruits right before adding them to the yogurt. Otherwise, bananas and apples will turn brown, and that will not be pleasant. Use only sweet fruits if possible; adding sour fruits will make the raita very tart.
  2. Yogurt: Before adding the fruits, whisk the yogurt with a balloon whisk to make it smooth. I have used plain homemade yogurt to make this fruit raita with a medium-thick consistency. But for very thick Raita, you can use hung yogurt or Greek yogurt.
  3. Chaat Masala: Add chaat masala powder, less or more, as per your taste. Instead of chaat masala, you can also use amchur powder.
  4. More Flavors: For more flavors, you can garnish the raita with mint leaves or coriander leaves. Add black salt instead of salt for an earthy flavor.
  5. Vegan Raita: For vegan Raita, use dairy-free yogurt.
  6. Scaling: This recipe can be halved or doubled easily.
