The summer season can be typically very harsh with the warm climate and increasing temperatures with each passing day until the onset of the monsoon. In order to stay healthy and energised, it is crucial that one eat well. It is also important to keep our bodies hydrated and cool. While one cannot skip essential nutrients from their meal, a refreshing addition can be a good alternative. A glass of juice or cooler is often preferred, but how about a traditional raita to finish your meal with.
Raita is a very adaptable and refreshing dish that is ideal for the any season. So one should indulge in the cooling sweetness of this classic dish to beat the heat while also treating their taste buds. However, if you are bored with the regular raita recipe, here is a new recipe, Sannata Raita, you can try at home.
Sannata raita is made with yoghurt and several spices. This unique dish has a watery consistency and is rich in flavour. Commonly found in Uttar Pradesh, it is considered good for relieving stomach pain and indigestion. An easy and traditional recipe for Sannata Raita was given by a food blogger on Instagram.
To make this refreshing dish, take an earthen pot and fill it with 400 grams of curd. Whisk this until it has a smooth texture. Once you get the desired texture, add salt, red chilli, and chopped green chilli in the pot. Make sure to combine them well. Then add about 400 ml of water and whisk it. Similar to traditional raitas, boondi is added to the mixture. Now place a small earthen pot over a flame and add mustard oil, asafoetida, and cumin. Take a tong and lift the pot, then place it inside the bigger pot that has the mixture. The spiced oil will gradually mix with the curd mixture, giving it flavour. Make sure to cover the raita for some time. Then lift the smaller pot and combine the raita well before serving.
Many users liked the one-of-a-kind recipe. Apart from the curd, spices such as cumin, and asafoetida also help to improve digestion and address any digestive disorders that are usually a concern during the summer.
