By: Jigna
This mixed Fruit Raita is fresh, healthy, flavorful, easy to make, and a great way to include yogurt and fruits in our diet. It comprises yogurt, mixed fruits (sweet varieties), and seasonings!

Ingredients
  

  • 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, which is not pleasant. Use only sweet fruits if possible; adding sour fruits or berries will make the raita 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 Raita, making the 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.
  4. Make It Vegan: For vegan Raita, use dairy-free yogurt.
  5. Scaling: This recipe can be halved or doubled easily.
