Boondhi Raita / Spicy Yogurt Dip

Raita is a dip made with yogurt mix with vegetables or fruits or crispy snacks like boondhi. Boondhi raita is one of the famous raitas.

  Boondhi is nothing but the crispy small round balls made with the gram flour batter. It is used in making ladoo when made without using chilli powder.
