1½ cups Thick Curd (Yogurt)

1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper Powder

1/2 teaspoon Cumin Powder

Salt

Tips and Variations:

• Do not beat curd using electric blender otherwise raita consistency will be thin.
• Use thick and chilled yogurt is recommended.
• If you are preparing it in advance, then do not add salt along with apple pieces, just add and mix it just before serving.
• For variation, you can add chopped banana to make apple banana raita.
• Using unpeeled apple is optional. If you are health conscious, then do not peel it because apple skin is rich in nutrition.
