RAITA
Raita is a condiment in Indian cuisine that is made by blending thick yogurt with various vegetables, fruit and/or spices.
Outside of India, cucumber Raita is probably the most common version of this dish, although in India, this form can be difficult to find, because the combination of yogurt and cucumber is frowned upon in Ayurvedic tradition. Carrot and onion Raita are both common in India, and it is also possible to find it made with bananas, tomatoes, kiwis, cumin, coriander, black mustard seeds, mint, dill, and cayenne, among other ingredients. |
