Best Recipe for Peshwari Bread Raita
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon desiccated coconut (unsweetened finely shredded coconut)
- 1 tablespoon chopped pistachios
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped raisins
- 3 extra-thick slices white bread, cut into rounds with a biscuit cutter
- 14 ounces plain yogurt
- 1 1/2 teaspoons caster sugar (superfine)
- Kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
- 1/2 teaspoon brown mustard seeds*
- 1 to 2 dried red chilies
- 10 curry leaves*
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix together the coconut, pistachios and raisins until well combined.
- Using a small, sharp knife, slice a deep pocket horizontally in the bread disks. Stuff each bread pocket with the nut and raisin mixture.
- In a bowl, whisk together the yogurt, sugar, and pinch of salt until smooth and well combined, adding more sugar and salt to taste if necessary.
- Heat the oil in a small pan over a medium heat. Add the mustard seeds and cook for 20 to 30 seconds, or until they start to pop. Caution: Keep the pan well away from your eyes and face. Be careful of the popping mustard seeds and splattering oil.
- Add the dried chiles and curry leaves, and continue to cook for 20 to 30 seconds. Add the yogurt mixture, and stir well, until the mixture is well combined.
- Place the stuffed bread disks into a large mixing bowl and pour the yogurt mixture over them. Give the bowl a shake to ensure that the yogurt mixture coats the bread disks, including the underside. Set the bowl aside for 30 minutes to soak, and then serve.
