About Indian raita

Raita is a traditional Indian side dish made with yogurt as its base, often combined with finely chopped vegetables like cucumber, tomato, or onion, and flavored with spices such as cumin, black salt, and fresh herbs like mint or coriander. Originating from Indian cuisine, it is a cooling accompaniment typically served alongside spicy curries, biryanis, or grilled dishes to mellow out bold flavors. Yogurt, the main ingredient, is a rich source of probiotics, calcium, and protein, which benefit digestion and overall gut health. The incorporation of fresh vegetables adds vitamins, minerals, and hydration. While raita is generally a healthy option, using full-fat yogurt can increase calorie and fat content, so opting for low-fat varieties can make it lighter. Minimal preparation and wholesome ingredients make raita a quick and nutritious addition to meals.
