To restore a raided village in Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord, you will need to have 50 grain and 50 hardwood in your inventory, which are used to rebuild the village, a process that takes 24 hours to complete. The grain is given to the villagers and the wood is used in the rebuilding process, allowing the village to recover and start functioning again, which can be monitored by the visual representation of the village on the map.
Understanding Village Recovery
Village Recovery Time
Looted villages tend to start functioning again in between 10-20 in-game days, and this can be loosely monitored by the visual representation of the village on the map. If the village is smoking, it has been recently raided. If it has been looted, but not smoking, it is close to being rebuilt.
