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.

This recipe calls for Urid Daal, Curry leaves, Roasted Cumin-Jeera powder and Seedless Grapes.
