    Cilantro Tomato Yogurt Raita

    Nov 29, 2022 by Sarah Mirza · Leave a Comment

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    Cilantro Tomato Yogurt Raita is a cooling yogurt dip. It pairs well with many different Pakistani dishes, commonly found accompanying entrees at the dinner table. The cooling affect of this Raita will also tame the spice in your food. It takes merely five simple ingredients (if you count the salt & pepper as one) for this authentic Pakistani necessity to come to life.

    WHAT IS RAITA?

    Cilantro Tomato Yogurt Raita is a yogurt-based Pakistani dip. Its cooling effects are often an effective counterbalance to the spices found in our foods. Raita comes in all sorts of shades and flavors; you may seen a green Raita bowl at one table, and a white raita dish with onions and cucumbers at another. However you make it, Pakistanis love raita with recipes like Instant Pot Mutton Biryani and Authentic Chicken Biryani.

    FAQS

    Is Raita Made of Yogurt?

    The answer is yes! Yogurt is the base of Raita. Many add herbs like cilantro, mint, and some even add Green Chutney.

    How can Raita be thicker?

    Just don't add water to the raita.

    5 BASIC INGREDIENTS

    • Yogurt - The main Ingredient which defines Raita.
    • Cilantro - I personally like to chop up cilantro really fine and mix in.
    • Onion - Use only red onion for the taste and color.
    • Tomato - can be substituted with cucumber.
    • Salt and Pepper - The only seasonings you need for this raita.

    In a medium bowl, whisk the yogurt until smooth texture.
    Add onion to the whipped yogurt
    Add in the tomatoes as well.
    Add in the cilantro.
    Add in salt & pepper.
    Mix well.

    HOW TO STORE RAITA?

    Store it in an air-tight container and place it in a refrigerator until it's ready to use.

    HOW LONG RAITA CAN LAST?

    Raita should last for 3-4 days. It can be made ahead of time for any occasion or party.
