Raitha, also spelled as raita, is a yogurt-based condiment originating from Indian cuisine. It is typically made by blending plain yogurt with a variety of ingredients such as cucumbers, tomatoes, onions, or grated carrots, and flavoring it with spices like cumin, coriander, or mint. Sometimes fresh herbs like cilantro or mint leaves are added for extra aroma and taste. Raitha is often served as a cooling side dish with spicy curries, biryanis, or grilled meats, balancing out the heat with its refreshing texture. Its primary ingredient, yogurt, is a rich source of probiotics, calcium, and protein, making it a nutritious choice that promotes digestive health. The added vegetables enhance the dish with vitamins and fiber. However, if prepared with excessive salt or oil-fried toppings, its health benefits can be diminished. Raitha is a versatile, healthy addition to meals when consumed in moderation and prepared with wholesome ingredients.
