Pomegranate Raita or Anar ka Raita is a delicious and easy to make accompaniment made using yogurt and pomegranate seeds and juice. Here is how to make it.
Yogurt is beneficial for our health as it is enriched with calcium, vitamin B-2, vitamin B-12, magnesium, and potassium.
Hence, during lunch, I either prepare Spiced Buttermilk using yogurt or make various kinds of raitas such as Mooli ka Raita, Palak ka Raita, et al.
But, I like making fruit-based raitas more. As fruits have their natural sweetness, fruit-based raitas such as Mango Raita or Fruit Raita are my favorites.
And of the latest additions on my list of fruit-based raitas is Anar ka Raita also known Pomegranate Raita.
It is an Indian side dish made with pomegranate and yogurt.
It is a perfect accompaniment to any Indian meal.
Quick and super easy to make, this raita can take your meal to the next level.
I make this raita by adding a little fresh pomegranate juice in the yogurt which gives it a lovely, sweet flavor and a pretty pink color.
In case fresh pomegranate juice is not available, you can use canned juice to make this Raita.
You can enjoy this raita with any Indian meal or can use it as a dip with your snacks.
