Strawberry n Burnt Garlic Raita

Adapted from a magazine recipe I read on a food special for Valentine's Day..had me thinking though..Valentine's Day and garlic ?? not the best combination, I would think! The original recipe used black grapes, I tried out mine with strawberries and carrot..a really interesting twist for a side dish that everyone loves.

Ingredients (serves 4)

2 cups curd
1 medium carrot, grated
8-10 strawberries, cut into medium sized pieces
Salt to taste (black salt preferably)
1 teaspoon white pepper
1/2 teaspoon sugar

1 tablespoon olive oil
3 garlic pods, chopped roughly (not crushed)

1. Whisk the curd to remove any lumps. Gently whisk in all ingredients except for the oil and the garlic.
2. Heat the oil in a tempering pan. Add the chopped garlic and fry on a slow flame till the garlic is brown in color.
3. Pour the tempering over the curd mixture and serve, garnished with 1-2 strawberry halves
