Raita masala- A very flavourful and digestive spice blend to use in buttermilk ,yogurt and fruit chaats

What is Raita Masala

Raita masala  – Laban /Chaas /Buttermilk is a very popular drink in India ,specially during summer its more healthier then juices and other aerated drinks.  Raita is usually made and served with daily meal in each household. Their are many versions to make raita or buttermilk /yogurt drink,every family have their own spice blend ,some just add salt and pepper powder in it,some add tempering and some prefer to add this flavourful raita masala . If you have this spice mix ready in your pantry then making Raita ,buttermilk or Lemonade will be quick and easy .

How To Make Raita/Chaas ka Masala

The spices I used to make this  Raita/ chaas masala mix are cooling in nature and good for digestion. Mint, cumin and coriander are cooling in nature and pepper, ginger powder, black salt aids in digestion.You can also add this masala in salads and fruits.You can easily store this Raita ka masala mix for 4 -5 months at room temperature.

How To Use Raita Masala

Raita masala is a multi purpose spice mix, you can use it as chat masala to make fruit chats and add in salads and can also use as sandwich masala to make Mumbai style tomato and cucumber sandwich. Add in any yogurt preparation or add in your shikanji ,soda or lemonade
I always prefer to make my own spice blends as they are hygienic and also very economical as compared to store  brought products .

Notes

NOTE-
  1. If you don't have white pepper powder then can add 1.5 tbsp of black pepper corns ,white pepper corns are added because they are mild in taste and din't change the colour of buttermilk.

    Nice recipe. I am doing this in the evening today along with the Galouti kabab masala. Can you tell me that do I just need to add water to curd/yoghurt and then mix this masala in to it? Thanks!
