can i freeze raita?

Just a quick question.

Last night I had friends over for a curry (homemade MSE style of course). I made a raita out of yoghurt, cucumber, mint and other dried herbs. I have loads of it left.... can it be frozen in small amounts?

thanks in advance, Ging x

Just a quick answer - NO!!

(it will thaw out as a watery slime!)

You could take some in a pot for a quick dip with carrot or celery sticks

or if you are making say a lamb /chicken curry dish, add it to that.

or mix with cooked chicken chunks, with some salad/veg in pitta

or have it as a accompanient (sp.?) to you other dishes, say lamb, as it helps with digestion


if you keep it at the back of the fridge, bottom shelf or coldest part, it should keep for a few days, though may separate but stir well.

hth!

thanks.... that's useful. Like the pitta idea.....

Think I'll make another curry then!

Does anyone know if yoghurt freezes well enough to eat? I have frozen small amounts in the past but only to use as a starter for HM yogurt.

You can freeze yoghurt, but put it into ice lolly moulds first, and eat it frozen!
