Raita

Raita is a traditional Indian side dish made with yogurt and various ingredients like vegetables, herbs, and spices. It is commonly served alongside spicy foods to cool the palate and balance heat. Raita can include ingredients such as cucumbers, tomatoes, onions, cilantro, and spices like cumin or coriander. Its creamy texture and refreshing taste make it a versatile accompaniment to dishes like biryani, curry, or grilled meats. Raita also aids digestion and adds a soothing, flavorful contrast to robust or spicy meals.
