NUTRITIONIST’S TIP:
Raita is the Indian equivalent of Greek Tzatziki. It’s a condiment. It’s meant to cool and balance the richness in the accompanying dishes. If I ever make an Indian dish that is too spicy, you better believe that I will serve this on the side. Raita can also be served as a dip with veggies or naan bread.
