Usually, raitas are very simple to make but taste awesome. This Carrot raita too falls under that category. Just boil Carrot, mash them in curd along with some chilli and finally enhance the raita with a strong flavorful tempering. Addition of hing to the tempering is what makes this Carrot raita tastier. So never skip it.
few simple points to note while this Carrot raita is as follows :
- Cook Carrot such that they are soft and mushy.
- The curd should not be too sour or plain. We don’t want the raita to become too sour/ bland.
- If your curd is too thick .. add little water too. Since mashed Carrot already makes raita thick, adding little water towards the end helps to get the right consistency.
- Addition of coriander leaves is optional. If you want you can add finely chopped onion too.
