Ingredients

½ cup seedless green grapes
¾ cup hung curd
1 no green chili
½ teaspoon shredded ginger
¼ teaspoon cumin seeds
½ teaspoon salt to taste

Tempering

1 teaspoon oil
¼ teaspoon mustard seeds
¼ tsp cumin seeds
2 nos red chilies, broken into two pieces
a sprig of curry leaf

Instructions

Take 1 cup of yogurt, tie it in a muslin cloth and keep it over a tea-strainer and place a bowl underneath to collect the whey. Keep this inside the fridge. You can make this overnight, so you will have a thick, ice-cream like hung curd next day or at-least make it an hour ahead.
Take grapes, green chili, ginger and cumin seeds in a blender and pulse it 4-5 times. We don't want grapes juice, we just have to mash it.
Add this mish-mashed grapes to hung curd, mix well. Add salt and mix well.

Adding Tempering

Heat a small tadka pan, add oil given under 'Tempering', splutter mustard seeds, add cumin seeds, red chilies and curry leaves.
Pour this sizzling tadka over the raita. Serve it along with rice.

Notes

As we will be pulsing the grapes before adding it to the curd, we need to first make hung curd, so our raita doesn't go runny.
So, before making the raita, first make hung curd, i made this an hour before i made the raita, you can even make it overnight.
After adding the pulsed grapes to the hung curd, it will return to normal raita consistency.
