Banana Raita

Recipes »  Side Dish  »  Side Dish - Other

This raita bursts with rich aroma and flavour. Tart lemon juice sweet raisins and bananas, and the warm, assertive flavour of roasted cumin are perfectly balanced by a hot undertone of chilli. This raita is divine with oily fish, such as mackerel, or rich meat, such as Goan Pork Curry (see page 116) or Baked Kebabs (see page 104). Select ripe bananas that are quite firm, with a hint of green on the skin.
