Banana Raita
The banana and yogurt combination breaks every rule in Ayurveda but this raita tastes SO good! It makes a great addition to breakfast and is also good as a side with shrimp or fish. The ginger and the serrano add a surprising, but lovely punch to the raita.

Directions
Step 1
In a bowl, whisk together the yogurt, cumin, and salt. Chop the peanuts and add to the yogurt.
Step 2
Peel and slice the banana directly onto the yogurt. Add the minced serrano chile, ginger purée (all liquid removed), and chopped cilantro. With a spatula, mix the raita together gently.
Step 3
Heat the mustard oil and pop the mustard seeds. Immediately add to the raita and fold in. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
Notes & Variations
- Mustard adds a unique flavor to this raita, but olive oil is a fine substitution.
- Add additional ginger to preference.
- Enjoy a dollop with breakfast or lunch. It is particularly delicious with a chilla! A raita can be enjoyed like a “salad” and eaten as a side.
