    Often have enjoyed mixed vegetable raita at restaurants but have not made it at home as yet. Such a simple and delicious raita to enjoy as a side dish with the main meal or with biryanis. Easy to try out this recipe at home, by following your recipe.

    Raita looks yumm, I can feel the pungent flavor of red onion, sweetness of cucumber and little sour taste of tomatoes. Never have added chat masala in my raita. Next time I will surely add chat masala too.

    I know making a raita is simple but never get around making some at home. Your mixed vegetable raita is definitely something I must make and will have it for oor meal tomorrow.
