Crisp fried potato in combination with tangy pomegrante(dalimba /anar) pearls  makes this one special and also unique.This raita is very delicious .


An Indian meal is incomplete without a yogurt dish or plain yogurt. Yogurt is a great accompaniment to the spicy curries,biryanis and also  completes the meal by providing protein .

Method:
