Raita
During these summer days our family has been going through yogurt like nobody’s business. We have been making chhas, srikhand, and all sorts of other cool treats. This is typically a side dish for dal that or other main entrées. This raita is made Bhakta-style with a little bit of chili paste, this isn’t something that is typical in a lot of Gujarati homes. Also Bhakta style raita is typically much thicker than the version that you typically see in restaurants. When my cousins were toddlers they used to just eat this raita with plain rice!
Ingredients:
- 1 c. of plain yogurt
- 1 c. sour cream
- 1 English cucumber, shredded
- 4 tsp. garlic paste
- 1 tbsp. ground cumin/jeera powder
- 1 tsp. green chili paste
- 2 tsp. sugar
- 1 tsp. salt
- cilantro for garnish
Method:
- First, use your hands to squeeze out the excess water from the shredded cucumber.
- Mix up all of your ingredients in a bowl and serve!
