Raitha/yogurt sauce
Here is a dish without which Biryani is not at all a complete dish as per me.. Writing this will make my mouth water for sure..
Here is a tasty recipe for Yogurt Raitha!!
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup cucumber chopped fine
3 green chillies chopped real fine
1 small carrot grated (about 3 tbsp)
1 small tomato chopped(Optional)
2 tbsp chopped cilantro leaves
salt per taste
For me I like my raitha to be thick. If you want it a little thinner add 2 tbsp of water.
Instead of chopping, Green chillies can be made into coarse paste.
Adding 4 or 5 leaves of mint chopped real fine will give a very refreshing taste to the dish.
Raitha is a side dish which goes well with all kind of Biryani's and rice items. But for me I can eat it as is like a cool summer salad :).
