BOONDI RAITA
Raita is a cooling and creamy yogurt-based side dish, mixed with fresh vegetables, herbs, and mild spices, making it a perfect complement to spicy meals.
Description
A delicious and refreshing yogurt-based dish, Raita is a must-have accompaniment that balances the bold flavors of Indian cuisine. Made with fresh, thick yogurt, it is whisked to a smooth consistency and combined with ingredients like cucumber, onion, tomato, grated carrots, or boondi (crispy gram flour pearls).
Seasoned with roasted cumin powder, black salt, chaat masala, and fresh coriander or mint leaves, raita enhances the overall meal experience by adding a cool, tangy, and mildly spiced contrast. Some variations include fruit raita (with pomegranate or pineapple) and spicy masala raita for a unique twist.
Raita pairs perfectly with biryani, pulao, parathas, or grilled dishes, offering a refreshing and creamy texture that soothes the palate. Whether served as a dip, side dish, or a standalone refreshment, Raita remains a simple yet flavorful addition to any meal!
