Description:

Raita is a popular Indian side dish made with yogurt, vegetables, and a variety of spices, offering a cool and refreshing complement to spicy meals. Common ingredients include cucumber, onion, tomato, and sometimes boondi (crispy chickpea flour pearls), all mixed into yogurt and seasoned with cumin, coriander, black salt, and fresh herbs. Raita helps balance the heat of flavorful dishes like biryani, kebabs, or curry. It’s easy to make, light, and nutritious, making it a perfect accompaniment to any Indian meal. Raita adds a creamy texture and cooling effect to every bite.
