Ingredients

  • 2 ripe bananas
  • 1 red chilly
  • ½ tsp mustard seeds
  • 1 tbsp urad dal
  • ½ tsp asafetida
  • ¾ cup yogurt
  • Salt to taste
  • 1 tsp oil

Directions

  • Mash the bananas nicely so there are no pieces of banana.
  • Place them in a bowl and add the yogurt and salt. Mix well.
  • Heat the oil and, when hot, add the mustard seeds. Allow them to crackle.
  • Once they crackle, add the urad dal and the red chilly along with the asafetida.
  • Once the urad dal turns golden in less than 30 seconds, switch off the flame.
  • Add the tempering to the raita and mix.
  • Keep covered and use quickly, as the bananas can darken the raita.
  • Goes well with chapatis or just as a healthy sweet treat.
