Banana Raita / Kela raita recipe – a quick and refreshing raita using ripe banana fruit. This simple kele ka raita recipe has sliced bananas in a lightly spiced yogurt.
Raitas are one of my favorite dishes as they are so easy to make and are cool and refreshing to have as a dip or along with any spicy curry. They go well with chapathis and pulaos or biryanis.
While raitas with vegetables are common, there are also fruit raitas like the mango mint raita and grape raita that I have already posted.
With some ripe bananas available, I ended up trying this banana raita.
It turned out delicious with the naturally sweet bananas and the spiced yogurt making for a lovely combination. The roasted cumin powder gives a nice flavor to the raita. This raita is best served chilled. You could serve it with any spicy curry. It tastes equally good when you have it on its own too!
Bananas are one of the healthiest fruits and are a good source of vitamin B6 and dietary fiber. Yogurt is a great source of proteins.
