Radish Raita (Mooli ka Raita)

Raita is a side dish with served with parathas or rice. Today I am preparing a simple dish of Radish in chilled yogurt and tempered with aromatic spices.

Raitas are usually served with any fiery hot Indian curries and flavored rice or Indian flat breads. They are simple, quick and easy to make..The end product is one of the best tasting raita with crunch from radish, sweetness from onions and the spicy note from chillies.
