🥄 What is Vegetable Raita?

Vegetable Raita is a North Indian yogurt-based side dish made by blending thick curd (dahi) with raw, finely chopped vegetables like cucumber, tomato, onion, carrot, and coriander. It is spiced lightly with roasted cumin, black salt, and a hint of chaat masala to balance the flavors.

In Indian cuisine, raita cools the stomach, improves digestion, and balances out spicy main dishes. It’s perfect for summer lunches, picnics, and even fasting meals if you skip the onion and spice.

💡 Pro Tips from Varkha:

Use thick curd to avoid a watery raita. You can even strain curd for an hour to make it richer.

For a no-onion version, skip onion and use more cucumber or beetroot.

Beetroot raita version is great for kids—turns beautiful pink and is loaded with iron!

Add finely chopped green chilies or pepper if you like a spicy kick.

Always chill before serving to enhance flavor and digestion.
