Tomato Raita

Tomato Raita is one of my favourite Raita recipes. It is the perfect condiment to a spicy curry to refresh the palate.

In India, it is usually served with rice dishes such as Pulao or Biryani. But it is so delicious that I like to serve it with any Indian dish…. with Samosas, Pakoras or with the Papad.

The preparation of Tomato Raita is very easy. Finely chop all the ingredients: onion, tomato, green chilli and fresh coriander leaves. Then mix them well with the yoghurt, seasoning with salt, sugar and spice powder. I usually use Himalayan black salt; it gives a very special flavour! If you like mint, you can add it too, but I like it with fresh coriander leaves.

Instructions:

-Put the yoghurt in a small bowl and beat it very well with a fork.

-Add finely chopped tomato, onion, green chilli, and coriander leaves.

-Add them to the yoghurt. Add black salt, sugar, black pepper, and salt.

-Mix everything very well. Sprinkle ground cumin on top before serving.
