Mint Raita
Mint Raita is a refreshing Indian side dish made primarily from yogurt and fresh mint leaves. It is often seasoned with spices like cumin and salt, providing a cool contrast to spicy dishes. Raita is commonly served with biryani, pulao, or curries to balance flavors and enhance the meal.
This dish is not only delicious but also nutritious, as yogurt is a good source of probiotics and calcium. Mint Raita can be easily prepared by blending yogurt with chopped mint, adding spices, and sometimes including diced vegetables like cucumber or tomatoes for added texture and flavor.
