Raita is a dish made with plain yogurt as base. Once you know how to make it, yoyu can make many variations. This Raita is a great way to serve carrots. When you mix the carrots to yogurt, the yogurt will change the color to yellow Orange-really fun for kids to watch.
Raita is generally made with Rai-Black mustard. Mustard soaked in sour liquid-Yogurt,lemon juice etc, makes it fermented. North Indian recipes may have ground mustard to give the tangy taste. Most Punjabi-North Indian restaurants serve Raita made with Onions and Cucumber.
