About Veg Raita
Vegetable Raita is simply raita made with various mix vegetables. The vegetables can be raw or cooked. I make it with vegetables that can be eaten raw like carrots, bell pepper, cucumber and tomatoes. Some of the commonly used seasonings and spices in a raita are roasted cumin powder, black pepper powder, red chili powder/cayenne pepper, chaat masala, green chilies, mint, ginger, garlic, etc. Many of these is what I have added in my recipe of Mix Veg Raita as well. In addition to this Veg Raita, some of the other famous raita preparations include Cucumber Raita, Boondi Raita and Onion Raita. There are others like this fruity Pineapple Raita and the Fruit Raita, which is only accentuated with spices; and are common in Indian households as well as restaurants and hotels too. Making the Mix Vegetable Raita is very easy and quick. No doubt, raitas are one of the simplest dishes. You just have to chop the veggies and mix in the spiced and seasoned curd mixture. Essentially, you chill this raita and then serve. This is true for any other raita too. As it cools the palate, it is a great way to cut down on the spiciness of many Indian dishes. You can even make this raita with Greek yogurt. This Veg Raita is a wholesome way of including fresh or leftover vegetables in your diet. For the same reason, it is really good for kids as well as adults. Besides being the greatest accompaniment for biryani, pulao or any other rice dishes, this raita is excellent with roti-sabzi or dal-rice combinations too.
