Raita

Making of Raita is one of the easiest task, as it doesn’t require much effort. Its quality depends upon the yogurt you use – better the quality, better will be the taste. It is always better to use home made yogurt using full cream milk. Otherwise local dairy made yogurt can be used instead.
