Recipe For Raita.

Ingredients:

2 cups plain yogurt

1 cucumber, peeled and grated

1 small tomato, chopped

1/2 small red onion, finely chopped

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

1/2 teaspoon cumin powder

Salt, to taste

Water, as needed

Instructions:

In a large bowl, whisk the yogurt until it's smooth and creamy. You can add a little water to thin it out if it's too thick.

Add the grated cucumber, chopped tomato, and finely chopped red onion to the bowl.

Mix everything together until the vegetables are evenly distributed throughout the yogurt.

Add the chopped cilantro, cumin powder, and salt to taste. Mix well.

Chill the raita in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together and the raita to thicken up a bit.

Tips:

If you're using Greek yogurt, you may not need to add any water to thin it out. Greek yogurt is thicker than regular yogurt.

You can adjust the amount of vegetables and spices to suit your taste. Some people like more cucumber or tomato in their raita, while others prefer a more subtle flavor.

Raita can be served as a side dish with a variety of Indian dishes, such as biryani, curry, or naan bread.

Variations:

Mint Raita: Instead of cilantro, use fresh mint leaves to add a cool, refreshing flavor to your raita. You can also add a little bit of chopped green chili for some heat.

Boondi Raita: Boondi is a popular Indian snack made from chickpea flour. Add some boondi to your raita for a crunchy texture.

Fruit Raita: Use chopped fruit, such as pineapple or mango, in place of the cucumber and tomato for a sweet and savory raita. You can also add a pinch of chaat masala for some extra flavor.

Onion Raita: If you're not a fan of cucumber or tomato, you can make a simple onion raita by mixing finely chopped red onion with yogurt and spices.

I hope you enjoy making and eating this raita recipe, and feel free to experiment with different variations!
