Raita (cold yogurt dish), is a side dish without which any North Indian meal is incomplete. The colours, the perfect balance of tartness with spices, the beautiful textures and the flavours that can add magic to any mundane meal.
We all love Raita, however never give it as much attention as we do to our main dishes!
This Beetroot and Boondi Raita is unique and delicious. The Beetroot loans a beautiful pink colour to this Raita. Paired with boondi and a simple tempering, this Raita tastes addictive.
