Yogurt/ Curd as we all know is known for many health benefits. Its is a great source of calcium and good active bacteria which is very important for our digestive tract. In India we have many yogurt based salads which we call as Raita. We have vegetable raita, boondi raita and even fruit raita. There are some yogurt salads which are made of only specific fruits like pineapple raita, orange raita and apple raita.
The recipe which I am sharing today is vegetable raita. It can be eaten along with your meal. In India raita is had along with lunch or dinner. It also goes very well with Indian Biryani dishes. So here is a super easy salad recipe.
Ingredients
Curd/Yogurt 1 Cup
Cucumber 1 Small
onion 1 small
Tomato 1 Medium
coriander Leaves chopped 2 tsp
Salt to taste
Sugar to taste
Roasted cumin seeds powder ( optional)
Red chilly powder ( optional)
Method
Fine chop all the vegetables. Whip the curd nicely. Now add the chopped vegetables to the whipped curd. Add salt and 1/2 tsp of sugar and mix well. If you want it to be sweeter you may add more sugar. People who prefer spicy food can also add a pinch or two of red chilly powder.
Roasted cumin seeds powder can also be added in vegetable raita. Generally we don't put this for fruit raitas.
Enjoy this super easy and healthy yogurt salad with your meal!
