Cool off with Summer Vegetable Raitha
By Kalpana Dwarikesh
Raitha is a very common dish in India and can be a side dish or condiment. It is a blend of thick yogurt with various vegetables, herbs and spices. It is used as a dip for Indian flat breads as well as being served and mixed alongside curries, pulaos, kabobs, falafel pitas, and/or anything spicy. The yogurt, cucumber and tomatoes soothe the palate to balance the heat.
