Carrot and Grapes Raita- a Great Fall side Dish
Once you know how to make basic Raita, you can create variety of colorful and flavorful Raitas.
This dish is great for a Fall salad. As all Raitas are made with Yogurt base, they are not Vegan dishes.
In this dish the carrots are slightly sauted with flavoring spices.Very easy and quick dish. I like to work with fruits and vegetables and mix them so the flavor and colors add appeal to the dish. Kids love it too.
