Onion Raita-Yogurt Raita for Biryani

Onion Raita is a must-have condiment with an Indian meal to cut down the heat of the spices. This perfectly creamy and cooling Raita recipe makes a great dip or side dish. I love to serve it with Biryani, Kebabs, and Meat Curries.

Notes

You may add ½ teaspoon of roasted and coarsely grounded Cumin Seeds to enhance the flavor.
Toast the Cumin Seeds in a skillet on low heat for about 2 to 3 minutes or until it starts to change color. Coarsely grind the seeds in a Mortar & Pestle or a Spice grinder.
If you are not fond of Green Chilies, you may use freshly ground Black Pepper.
