A small bowl of raita is a refreshing yogurt-based side dish that originates from Indian cuisine. This cooling accompaniment is typically made with creamy yogurt, finely chopped cucumbers, tomatoes, or other vegetables, and seasoned with spices like roasted cumin, black salt, and occasionally fresh herbs such as mint or cilantro. Raita is known for its probiotic benefits due to the active cultures in yogurt, which aid in digestion and promote gut health. Low in calories and packed with nutrients from the fresh vegetables, it makes a wholesome and light addition to meals. However, depending on preparation, some versions may include added sugar or full-fat yogurt, which can increase its caloric content. Perfect for balancing spicy dishes, raita also serves as a hydrating and nourishing complement in traditional Indian meals, offering both flavor and a cooling touch.
