    Coriander & mint raita

    Coriander & mint raita, a yogurt dip, spiced with chilies and ginger. A condiment served as an accompaniment with rice dishes.

    Raita is a yogurt dip mostly made with cucumber and onions, but it is also versatile and can be done with any vegetables or fruits.

    mint raita

    Like Beetroot raita, a colorful and spicy yogurt dip, and green grapes raita, a beautiful combination of sweet and sour flavors, combined with spice.

    In tamil cuisine, we have something called thayir pachadi, similar to raita. In thayir pachadi, we cook the veggie in a masala of coconut, cumin and chilies and finally add a tadka with mustard, cumin and curry leaves.

    Most of the raita recipes, just chop veggie, mix in the curd, add spice, mix and serve. Today’s recipe, is yet another quick recipe that can be made in 15 minutes. I usually make it an hour ahead of our lunch/serving time so the flavors mingle well.
