I am not sure why and how I missed out on making such a simple and delicious Aloo Raita. When browsing through recipes to make for the Haryana Thali, I came across this Potato Raita and it caught my eye right away. With the spicy Hara cholia and paneer subzi, I figured that this Aloo Raita will work great. After I tasted the raita with the bajra roti, I realized that all I needed was this raita to go along with the bajra roti. It tasted wonderful and paired great with the bajra roti. It also has the most common ingredients. I used some roasted cumin powder as well as chaat masala. Chaat masala is purely optional and you can skip it if you don’t have any.

Ingredients to make Aloo Raita – Serves 4
Aloo/potato – 2 medium (boiled) Yogurt – 1 ½ cups Salt – to taste Sugar – ½ tsp Chaat masala – 1 tsp Roasted cumin powder – 1 tsp Chili powder – ¼ tsp Cilantro – a good handful (finely chopped)
Procedure to make Potato Raita –
Boil the potatoes and mash them up or cut them into bite-size pieces. I peel the potatoes and then microwave them to cook them. For a couple of potatoes, it just takes 5 minutes in the microwave.
In a bowl whisk the yogurt and add all the spices, salt, and sugar along with the cilantro.
Add the boiled potatoes and mix them up.
Serve this chilled with roti and/or rice.
