About Raita

Raita is a traditional Indian side dish made from yogurt combined with various ingredients such as chopped vegetables (like cucumber, tomato, or onion), spices, and sometimes herbs like mint or coriander. Popular variations include fruit-based raitas with ingredients like pineapple or pomegranate. Known for its cooling properties, raita is often served alongside spicy dishes to balance flavors and aid digestion. As a yogurt-based dish, raita is rich in probiotics, which support gut health. It’s also a source of calcium, protein, and vitamins, depending on added ingredients. Low in calories and fat when made with non-fat or low-fat yogurt, raita can be a healthy option. However, versions with heavy cream or excess sugar may reduce its nutritional benefits. Versatile and refreshing, raita is a staple in Indian cuisine and a delightful addition to meals worldwide.
