Makhana Raita Recipe calls for
Makhana(Lotus seeds)- I have dry roasted the makhanas without any ghee because these nuts have their own fat. I had smaller makhanas so it have not crushed them. You crush them slightly before adding to the yogurt.
Yogurt- Yogurt should not be sour and it should be cold because cold yogurt is better for raita. I have used very simple seasoning of salt, sugar and white pepper. You can add ingredients according to your choice such as cumin powder, coriander leaves, red chilli powder, etc.
