Indian Cuisine: Raita


By Chow Times (Visit website)



Minoo also made an Indian side dish for the Indian theme at the Caring Place Community Kitchen.  It is called Raita.


Raita-3


Raita is a yogurt sauce or dip kind of side dish. It is very similar to Greek’s tzatkiki.  I guess this side dish acts as a cooling agent when you have spicy main dishes.


Ingredients



1 litre plain low fat yogurt
1/2 cucumber, finely diced
a few fresh mint, finely minced
a pinch of cumin powder

Raita-1


Instructions



Add diced cucumber and chopped fresh mint to the yogurt.  Season with cumin, salt and pepper.

Raita-2


Minoo, thank you again for bringing us a simple culinary tour of the Indian cuisine.
