Yogurt combined with onion, tomato and chilli. An easy, simple and yummy side dish to go with any Indian rice preparations – chicken biriyani, beef biriyani, fish biriyani, vegetable pulao and ghee rice.
It cannot be easier than this. Raita’s often called as an Indian condiment made with dahi or yogurt or curd together with raw or cooked vegetables. It’s less spicy and a refreshing side dish during summer to beat the heat. There are lots of varieties of raita based on the vegetable that goes with the curd. I prefer to spice it up just with the green chillies. But other ways are to season it with cumin powder or chaat masala or chilli powder.
