Can I make raita with frozen yogurt?

Asked by Rabiya Furqan · 1 November 2026

I froze some extra dahi to keep it from going sour, and now I need raita. Will it still be creamy once it thaws, or will it go watery and grainy? If it does split, is there a way to fix it?

  Yes, you can use it. Frozen dahi usually thaws a bit watery and grainy, but raita is the easiest place to use it. Thaw it slowly in the fridge, pour off the extra water, then whisk it hard for a minute (or give it a few seconds in a blender) and it will turn smooth again. If it still looks thin, whisk in a spoon of fresh dahi or a little cream, and a pinch of salt. Grated cucumber or mint hides any small grains nicely: Kheera Raita recipe
