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.
Ingredients
- ½ cup thinly sliced Red Onion
- 1 cup Whole Milk plain Yogurt , Preferably Indian yogurt
- 1 Tablespoon chopped fresh Mint leaves , no stems
- 2 to 3 Tablespoons chopped fresh Cilantro
- 1 small chopped Green Chili , deseeded Serrano or Jalapeno for milder taste
- ½ teaspoon Pink Salt or Kosher Salt , or to taste
Instructions
- Whisk yogurt in a medium prep bowl until smooth.
- Add all the ingredients to the yogurt and mix until well combined.
- Serve it immediately with Biryani, Curry-Naan, Pulao(Pilaf), Kebabs, Kofta, Sandwiches, and Burgers.
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.
