Vegetable Raita is a refreshing Indian side dish made with yogurt and a mix of finely chopped fresh vegetables such as cucumber, tomatoes, onions, and sometimes carrots. Flavored with simple spices like roasted cumin powder, salt, and occasionally fresh cilantro or mint, raita acts as a cooling complement to spicy curries and rich dishes. Its Indian origins are steeped in balancing bold flavors with nutritious, digestive aids. Packed with probiotics from yogurt, it promotes gut health and is rich in calcium and protein. The vegetables provide fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants, making it a low-calorie addition to meals. However, its health benefits depend on the type of yogurt used—opt for plain, low-fat yogurt to minimize added sugars and fats. This versatile dish is not only delicious but also a wholesome way to enhance both nutrition and flavor in meals.
