About Onion raita

Onion Raita is a refreshing Indian side dish made with yogurt, finely chopped onions, and a blend of simple spices like cumin, salt, and sometimes fresh herbs like cilantro or mint. Originating from Indian cuisine, it is commonly served alongside spicy curries, biryanis, or flatbreads to balance flavors and add a cooling element to the meal. Rich in probiotics due to the yogurt base, Onion Raita supports digestive health and provides a good source of calcium and protein. The raw onions add a dose of fiber and essential vitamins like vitamin C. However, its healthiness can vary depending on the type of yogurt used—full-fat varieties can increase calorie and saturated fat content, while low-fat or non-dairy alternatives make it lighter. Simple, flavorful, and nutritious, Onion Raita is a versatile accompaniment to traditional or fusion dishes.
