Spiced Yoghurt / Simple Raita for Pulao
Written by Jayashree

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Spiced Yoghurt is a simple yet tasty preparation served with pulav. It can be easily made in five minutes.

The indian cuisine is elaborate and makes use of many spices. Thus, raita is often prepared as an accompaniment with pulao or biryani. Raita is one or different vegetables mixed in curds along with a few spices. Spiced yoghurt serves the same purpose but it is without any veggies in it.

Spiced yoghurt is a simple curd based dish ideal to serve with   pulav or Veg Jadoh. It is easy to prepare and needs no elaborate  preparation. It is tasty and ideal to make when hardly any vegetables are on hand. During the lockdown, if you ever run out of veggies, you can make this one. Infact, I make it when I am bored to chop veggies!

Curds- We need fresh curds.

Fresh coriander- I am obsessed with coriander in my cooking and I cannot say enough the need of it here.

Seasoning: A little bit of seasoning with red chillies gives a good taste to it.

Salt – It is the essence of any cooking.
