Raita

An easy, tasty condiment made with yogurt as the base. There are multiple ways to make this. Let me suggest to you one simple recipe to begin with.

Either use home made yogurt or you may buy plain yogurt from the store. Plain yogurt, part yogurt and part buttermilk, or some non-fat sour cream with some buttermilk; they all work great for raita.

Pointer 1: Less tart yogurt make better tasting raita.
