Raita

Raita is a refreshing side dish made with yogurt and goes well with any Biryani. I always make raita as a side dish when cooking chicken curry or and kind of Pulav or Biryani. Raita has a cooling effect and balances the spicy Indian food. This is my favorite raita which I often make with chicken curry or chicken biryani.
