Method:
- Wash amla, sperate the seeds and slice them. In a mixer - add amla,green chillies and coconut and grind it a coarse paste adding very little water.Then transfer this to beaten curd along with little salt.
- Mix well. Heat oil - add the items listed under 'to temper' let it splutter add this to raita and serve chilled.
My Notes:
- Dont grind amla to a fine paste, it may cause bitterness.
- You can even steam cook amla for 5mins then deseed them and use it for raita.
- Use thick curd for any raita...beat it well before using it.
- Adding roasted jeera powder gives a nice flavour.
