Serve up this Boondi Raita as a side dish for your next party. It's a simple and quick to put together as colorful dish to accompany your main courses and goes really well with spicy food. Raita is made with tangy creamy dahi and mixed with crispy boondi, spices, and a fresh cilantro for garnish.
In a bowl with the boondi, pour in the hot water. Give it a mix so all the boondi is coated with hot water and it softens up a bit.
Whisk the dahi until it's completely smooth in the texture. Pour in the softened boondi.
Add all of the spices. Whisk together the yogurt with the boondi and spices.
Transfer to a serving bowl. Garnish with extra crunchy boondi, additional chili powder, and chopped cilantro.

Notes
To store - Store the boondi separately from the dahi if possible. The boondi will soften significantly in dahi. Keep in the refrigerator for up to two days.
