Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Plain Greek yogurt
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup Water
- 0.5 teaspoon Cumin powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 1 tablespoon Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Spread the cheddar cheese in small clusters (about a teaspoon each) on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced apart.
Bake the cheese for 7-10 minutes or until they are bubbly and have started to turn golden brown. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
Once baked, remove from the oven and let them cool. They will harden into cheese boondi.
In a mixing bowl, whisk the Greek yogurt with water until smooth and creamy.
Add the cumin powder, red chili powder, and salt to the yogurt and mix well.
Add the cooled cheese boondi to the yogurt mixture and gently stir to combine.
Transfer the Raita to a serving bowl and garnish with chopped fresh cilantro.
Let it chill for about 10 minutes in the refrigerator for best flavors before serving. Enjoy your Keto Boondi Raita as a delightful side to any meal.
