WHAT IS BIRYANI RAITA?
Quick 5-Minute Biryani Raita With Tomato is a yogurt-based Indian/Pakistani Dip. Its cooling effects are often an effective counterbalance to the spices found in Indian/Pakistani recipes. It first originated in India then made its way to Pakistan.
Raita comes in all sorts of shades and flavors; you may seen a Green Chutney Raita at a table, and a white raita dish with onions and cucumbers at another. However you make it, I think everyone love raita with recipes like Mutton Pulao, Mutton Biryani and Chicken Biryani.
WHY IS RAITA SERVED WITH BIRYANI?
I always say: There is no biryani without Raita and There's no Raita without Biryani. Raita tame the spice level of the biryani. Biryani tastes so good with Raita.
WHAT IS BIRYANI RAITA MADE OF?
Biryani Raita comes in variety. Some people like Pudina Raita, while others like Cucumber Raita, and some like the way I make it.
INGREDIENTS
- Yogurt- I used homemade full fat yogurt but you can use low fat, fat free, or even greek yogurt.
- Onion- Onion will give crunch with your Raita. I used red onion but you can use white onion as well.
- Salt and Pepper- The only seasonings you'd need in this recipe.
- Cilantro- I personally like to chop up cilantro really fine and mix in.
HOW TO MAKE BIRYANI RAITA?
In a medium bowl, whisk the yogurt until smooth texture.

Store it in an air-tight container and place it in a refrigerator until it's ready to use. Raita should last for 3-4 days. It can be made ahead of time for any occasion or party.
