Onion Tomato Raita
Tuesday, July 07, 2020
This Onion Tomato Raita is south-Indian version (in my opinion). As Raita is a north-Indian side-dish, it has been adopted in south with slight modifications. This Raita is more on the watery side compared to north versions. I usually add bit of grated carrot to this Raita but I didn't have any carrot so added bit of cucumber which made it thick. Onion-Tomato Raita goes well with south-Indian mixed rice like - Bisibele bhath, Vangi bhath, Khara bhath, chow-chow bhath, masala bhath, cabbage bhath, Puliogare etc.. [Note: in many of the Indian regional languages bhath means prepared or cooked rice. (not taking shower)]
Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cup - cut onion
- 1 cup - cut tomato
- ½ cup - grated carrot
- 1 cup - thick curds or Greek yogurt
- ¼ tsp - chili powder
- ½ tsp - ginger pdr or fresh grated ginger (I use Mango Ginger when available, gives unique flavor)
- ¼ tsp - cumin powder
- ½ cup - Fresh coriander/cilantro leaves
- 4 to 5 - Green Chilies (optional)
- Salt to taste
Method:
- Cut onion and tomato. Grate carrot and keep aside.
- Cut green chilies into big pieces or length-wise. ... so it is easily visible and be able to separate it while eating.
- Add ½ cup of water to the curds and whisk the curds until it is smooth.
- To the curds, add all the dry ingredients and whisk to mix it all well.
- Now add onion, tomato, carrot, green chilies and coriander leaves.
- Mix it and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or more before serving. This allows the flavor of the onion to be released.
- Serve chilled along with any spicy mixed rice. (Like Cabbage rice)
