In the summer season, raita is more than just an accompaniment. It helps you to cool and stay hydrated while getting fibre and micronutrients. Here are some types of raita you must try this season.
Grate some cucumber and season it with salt and pepper in a bowl of curd to get a refreshing raita.
Mint raita can be made with curd and finely chopped, refreshing pudina leaves. Pair it with your meals, especially on hot days.
For a sweeter hint, you can add diced fruits like pineapple and pomegranate to curd and make fruit raita.
Beetroot raita can help you get fibre, essential vitamins, and minerals for a nutritious and hydrating addition to your meal.
Mix in some chia seeds with curd and make an ultimate nutrients-packed raita to eat as is or with a meal.
If you want a filling raita, add chopped tomato and onion to curd with some spices and have it on a hot summer day.
