My mango tree in Pune produced more than 400 mangoes last year. I distributed most of them to friends and staff, but kept a few in boxes to ripen. When we opened the box a few days later, we got a big batch of fully ripened, sweet, juicy, homegrown mangoes.
With so many mangoes at hand, I made many of my mango recipes, and this mango raita was made on repeat. It is one of my favorite raitas. Its sweet, salty, and spicy flavors combine to create a burst of flavor in the mouth. Try it!
Ingredients
- Plain Yogurt (Curd, Dahi) – Use homemade yogurt or buy a tub.
- Mangoes – You will need ripe, sweet mangoes in two forms: pureed and cubed. I prefer to use Indian mangoes, such as Alphonso and Dhasseri, but you can use any juicy variety.
- Others – You will also need sugar, salt, roasted cumin powder, and mint leaves.
How To Make Mango Raita
Step 1: Whisk 1 cup of yogurt in a bowl using a wire whisk until smooth.
Step 2: Add the following ingredients to the bowl and mix well.
- ¼ cup mango puree
- 1 cup cubed mango
- 1 tsp sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ tsp roasted cumin powder
- 5-6 mint leaves, chopped
If the raita is too thick, add some water or milk to thin it down.
Step 3: Chill for 1 to 2 hours before serving.
Note – You can garnish the raita with cubed mangoes and a sprinkle of red chili powder. Keep a mint sprig on top for some pop of color.
Pro Tip By Neha
You can also use frozen mangoes to make this raita. Thaw them before using.
Storage Suggestions
This raita can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. After that, the mangoes will release water, and the raita will become watery.
I do not recommend freezing it, as the texture may change once thawed.
