Simply Delicious Raita | Yoghurt & Cucumber Raita | Raita Recipe | Cucumber Yoghurt Side Dish

Updated: Jan 29, 2023

Raita is a cool, refreshing side dish that goes very well with all Curries, Biriyani and with Gujarati Dal and Rice. I just love it and have been making it a lot recently!


Some of the key things to make really delicious Raita are to:

- squeeze out as much liquid from the cucumber as possible;

- get a thick Yoghurt, like Greek Yoghurt, or use a cheesecloth to remove water from plain Yoghurt;

- Let the Raita sit in the fridge for at least an hour once made so the spices mix well.


Simple and delicious! Enjoy!!
