What is a raita?

1. What are Raitas ? Raita is a quintessential accompaniment for any Indian meal. It adds a refreshing note, making the heaviest of meals seem light and digestible. Simply put, raita means veggies and/or fruits in curd.
2. South Indians temper the raita with mustard and red chillies, while in the North it is served with a sprinkling of spice powders. A raita can be standalone, like Tomato Raita, Pineapple Raita or Onion Raita. Or, it can be a combo of fruits and veggies like Dill and Cucumber Raita.
3. Often, a garnish of coriander or mint is added to give the raita a herby punch. The herb itself can be the focus of a raita, as in the case of the popular Mint Raita!

Coconut pachadi.. a yummy accompaniment..taste best with flavoured rice, a mildly sour curds, with strong tempering, which makes the pachadi very aromatic. I make this very often.

Healthy. The grated coconut gives a fabulous mouth feel to this awesome coconut curd raita. Recipe has all the healthy fats which an athlete would require and even those on weight loss programs. Going to try and include this daily in my diet and much better than cucumber raita.
