Onion Raita is a refreshing side dish popular in Indian cuisine, often paired with spicy curries, biryanis, or grilled dishes to balance bold flavors. Made by combining finely chopped onions with yogurt, it typically includes spices like roasted cumin, black salt, and sometimes fresh cilantro or mint for enhanced aroma and taste. This dish is rich in probiotics from yogurt, which support gut health and digestion, while the onions offer antioxidants and vital nutrients such as vitamin C and fiber. The cooling properties of yogurt make Onion Raita especially beneficial in moderating heat from spicy foods. However, its nutritional profile depends on the type of yogurt used; opting for low-fat or Greek yogurt can reduce fat content while increasing protein. Simple and versatile, Onion Raita is a wholesome addition to Indian meals that offers both flavor and functional health benefits.
