Raita: Sweet
and Sour
This sweet and sour version of raita, is made with low fat
yogurt, salt, sugar, honey, mint sauce, cilantro, green chili, onion, and water. It is perfect for accompanying
hot curries and dishes, offering a cooling sensation and a subtle sweetness that excellently contrasts with the
spice. Sweet and sour raita is a lot more effective than cold drinks in counteracting with the hotness of
spiciness of main dishes. You can increase the amount of honey to sweeten the raita, depending on your
preference and taste. Raita is often served alongside pilaf, biryani, or seekh kebab. It can also be used as a
dipping sauce for pita bread, naan, or chips. It can also be served as an alternative to potato salad or coleslaw,
accompanying grilled meats and vegetables. There are many different types of raita made with vegetables,
pulses or fruits. You can incorporate these various ingredients and finally list this version in your own favorite
gourmet recipes.
Some examples of vegetable raitas include tomato onion raita, cucumber raita, carrot raita, pumpkin raita,
potato raita, mint and peanut raita, and spinach raita. Examples of pulses raitas include sporouted green gram
raita and boondiraita. Fruit raitas can include pineapple raita, banana raita, mango raita, guava raita, and
grape raita. Sweet and sour raita is especially complementary with fruits and can be served after a meal. Raita
makes one of the best healthy recipes that can be enjoyed on a regular basis without the guilt.
