Mango raita with step by step pictures and video.

Mango raita is a simple yogurt based raita | dip, pairs well with parathas, pulaos or even with some chips too. This mango mint raita is quite refreshing for this summer. This is the first mango recipe I am posting for this year. If you follow me on Instagram and also read my stories in my Mango recipes collection post, you know my love for mangoes. I prefer to eat mango as a fruit but very rarely i will try recipes out of it. For this season also, i have a bunch of mango recipes coming up. This raita recipe tasted so awesome and we had few spoons of raita as such. Check out my other raita recipes

Notes:

1. As we are adding chili powder and other spices, the sweetness of the mango is balanced.
2. Use thick yogurt for making  raita.
3. You can use Dahi vada raita masala available in shops, instead of adding these spice powders.
4. I used Alphonso mangoes for making this mango raita.
