Basil Raita

Basil Raita

date 2026 June 12

Ingredients for 4 people each

  • 250 g plain coconut yoghurt
  • 1 pinch of kala namak (‘black salt’
  • salt
  • a little lemon zest
  • ¼ tsp fennel seeds
  • ¼ tsp pepper
  • a handful of basil leaves

preparation

Finely grind the fennel seeds in a mortar. Chop the basil very finely. Mix all the ingredients together. Season to taste with salt and lemon zest.

Tip

Basil raita can, of course, also be made with ordinary yoghurt. However, for ‘transporting’ it in the summer heat, we recommend the coconut version.
