Bhurani Raita / Burani Raita

Burani raita is one of the Mughal recipes. It is a type of raita which is unique and awesome when had with biryani. Adding a zest of garlic juice into this raita makes it unique. Raita with garlic flavor gives an interesting zing to your Biryani.

Ingredients

1. Yogurt (Thick) - 1 Cup 
2. Garlic Puree - 1 Teaspoon 
3. Red Chili Powder - A pinch 
4. Cumin Powder (Roasted) - A pinch 
5. Milk - 1/4 Cup (Boiled and Cooled) 
6. Salt as per taste

Direction/Method

1. In a bowl, add 1 cup of nice thick yogurt. 
2. Whisk it well. 
3. Add 1 teaspoon of garlic puree using a strainer. So only the water with garlic flavor goes into this. 
4. Garlic puree is made by grinding few garlic cloves with little water. 
5. Add salt as per taste. If preferred, regular salt can be replaced with black salt. 
6. Add a pinch of red chili powder. 
7. To get the consistency of raita, add 1/4 cup of boiled and cooled milk to this 
8. Mix it well. 
9. If preferred, replace milk with water. But for a Mughlai recipe, milk is recommended. 
10. When you see the thin consistency of raita, Burani Raita is ready to be served. 
11. Do you know why raita is used with a dish like Biryani? Because it cools down all that heat produced by the spices and the chicken / mutton that we add into Biryani. 
12. You can serve this in a small bowl and you can garnish this by sprinking roasted cumin powder and topping up with mint leaves. 

You can also serve this raita not just with non-vegeterian Biryani but also with vegetarian biryani and pulao. And I'm sure this raita will give an exciting flavour to your Biryani or Pulao.
