Raitha

Raitha or Pachadi is an Indian side dish. It is yogurt based and is served along with biryani, rice, vada, etc. There are different types of raitha. Today I am sharing a simple and tasty recipe from one of my aunt. You can serve this along with any biryani, pulao or type of rice. Here you go…

Ingredients:

• Tomato – 3
• Onion – 1
• Chili powder – 1/4 tsp
• Oil – 2 tsp
• Mustard seeds – 1 tsp
• Coriander leaves – a few
• Curd – 2 to 3 cups

Method:

1. Chop onion and tomatoes.
2. Heat oil in a pan, add onions and toss it till it becomes translucent.
3. Add tomatoes and toss them with a little salt for 3 to 4 mins.
4. Remove from heat.
5. Take 2 to 3 cups of nice and smooth yogurt in a bowl.
6. Add some salt and chili powder to the yogurt and mix well. Remember, we have already added a little salt to onion-tomato mixture.
7. Heat oil in a pan and add mustard seeds.
8. Once they splutter, remove from heat and keep it aside.
9. Add the cooked onion-tomato to the yogurt and mix thoroughly.
