Tomato Raita is a refreshing yogurt-based side dish hailing from Indian cuisine, commonly served alongside spicy meals to balance flavors. It combines diced tomatoes with chilled yogurt, seasoned with a blend of spices such as cumin, black pepper, and sometimes a hint of chili for mild heat. Fresh cilantro or mint is often added for extra freshness. Low in calories and packed with probiotics from yogurt, Tomato Raita supports digestion and gut health. The yogurt also provides a good source of calcium and protein, while the tomatoes contribute vitamins A and C, along with antioxidants like lycopene. However, portion control is key, as excessive amounts of salt or full-fat yogurt can add extra sodium and calories. Perfect as a cooling accompaniment, this dish enhances both taste and nutrition in a balanced meal.
