Raita (Veg dip)

RAITA | VEG DIP    Raita   is an Indian side dish of yogurt or   curd   containing chopped cucumber or other vegetables, and spices.  Raita   has a cooling effect in contrast with spicy curries and kebabs that are the main fare of some Asian cuisines. In Indian cuisine, some type of flat bread (chapati) and Biryanis are combined with   raita ,   chutneys and   pickles . I always prefer adding Raita to either lunch or dinner as a bowl of protein. INGREDIENTS FOR 4 SERVINGS: • 2 1/2 cups fresh  whipped curd. 1/2 onion chopped 1 small tomato chopped. 1/2 cucumber chopped 1 green chilly Salt to taste   1/4 teaspoon roasted cumin seed powder 1/4 teaspoon is dried mint powder   1/4 teaspoon sugar Coriander for garnish Mix all ingredients in a large mixing bowl.   Delicious raita is ready to be served as a side or can be served with Aloo paratha, and Biryanis .
