Avocado Raita is an easy and healthy raita recipe made with yogurt (curd), avocado, and spices. You can serve it with Vegetable Pulao, Veg Biryani, or eat it as is. This Indian-style Avocado Yogurt dip is Low Carb and Kids friendly.
Ingredients to make Avocado Raita Recipe
This Indian avocado raita recipe requires only a few simple ingredients.
- Avocado: Use good quality, fresh ripe avocado to make the raita creamy and have great flavor. I have used 1 medium Hass Avocado.
- Yogurt (or greek yogurt): I have used full-fat dairy yogurt, whisk until smooth. If you are a vegan, use dairy-free yogurt.
- Vegetables: onion, tomato, cucumber, and green chili, finely chopped.
- Coriander leaves: fresh coriander leaves/cilantro finely chopped.
- Spices: I have used roasted cumin (jeera) powder and chaat masala.
- Lime juice: freshly squeezed lime/lemon juice.
How to Make Avocado Raita
Using your knife, cut around the seed and twist, separating them into two halves. Using a spoon, scoop out the flesh.
In a mixing bowl, use a fork or a potato masher to mash the avocados to nearly smooth. Then add the whisked yogurt.
Add chopped onion, tomato, cucumber, green chilies, lime juice, coriander, spices like roasted jeera powder, chat masala powder, and salt. Mix it very well. Serve it immediately or chilled.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this Indian-style avocado raita as a side dish with Biryanis, Pulao, Indian flatbreads or parathas, curries, or lentils. You can also serve with tortilla chips, and veggies as a dipping.
Variations
- You can also add finely chopped mint (pudina) or any herbs you prefer.
- To make this easy avocado raita recipe Keto-friendly, use Greek Yogurt.
- You can skip cucumbers if you don't have them handy.
Tips
- If you make this raita ahead of time, refrigerate only the veggies and yogurt mixture. Add the mashed avocado just before serving; else, it will turn brown.
- You can add milk to the yogurt to prevent it from turning sour.
