How to Make Banana Raita
- In a medium bowl, mash 2 ripe bananas with a fork until mostly smooth.
- Gently stir in 1 cup plain yogurt until well combined.
- Add 1 tablespoon lemon juice (or orange/lime juice to taste) and mix thoroughly.
- In a small bowl, lightly crush ½ teaspoon cardamom pods and ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon with a mortar and pestle (or the back of a spoon).
- Stir the crushed spices into the banana mixture.
- Taste and adjust sweetness or citrus as needed. You can add a pinch of sugar or more lemon juice, if desired.
- Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld. The longer it chills, the better it tastes!
- Garnish with chopped pistachios or a sprinkle of extra cinnamon before serving. Enjoy!
