I ate at a friends house, who is Indian, and his mother made this awesome dish...It was a while ago, so I have a hard time remembering (other then it was really good.) What I do remember was that it was yogurt based, and they refered to it as yogurt. It was chunky and had a lot of things in it. And it was savory, but it had pomegranate seeds in it so it had a sweet crunch every once in a while. I ate it over rice. I know this is vague, but does anyone have any clue what this might be, and if so, how to make it?

  1. Maybe some kind of raita, but that is not usually served over rice.  Google "raita" and see if that's what it was.


  2. It is some type of stew.  There may have been nuts and chickpeas.  They use lots of chickpeas.  Maybe chickpea curry, and vegetables.  What color was it, and was it stewlike?

  3. Is this it?

    Recipe:

    (for two)

    1 cup fresh homemade yogurt

    1 pomegranate fruit, or 1 cup pomegranate seeds

    Salt and Sugar ~ a pinch each, or to taste

    ********

    Rinse, and make a shallow, vertical cut on the pomegranate. Separate the halves. Pull the fruit open and shell the seeds over a bowl. Add yogurt, also salt and sugar. Whisk the yogurt to blend well. Refrigerate for about half an hour. Serve

  4. It's called ANARDANA RAITA:  it's pom seeds, yogurt & a pinch of chaat masala.  It's delicious!
