Firstly, try to always use fresh home made curd. Here I have used fresh besan boondi, which I have prepared at home with simple ingredients available in every Indian kitchen. You can checkout my How to make besan boondi at home recipe to make fresh boondi. As I have added mint in it which enhances its taste and make it more refreshing. Another thing you must take care add the boondi just before serving otherwise it may turn extra soft which does not taste good.
Finally , you can checkout my other raita recipes like Cucumber Raita, Mix veg Raita, Fried Potato Raita with this post of boondi raita.
