Raita is known as Koshimbir in Marathi. It is an Indian yogurt (curd) dip served with biryani.
Ingredients:
- ½ cup plain yogurt
- ½ cup chopped or grated cucumber
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
- ¼ teaspoon coriander powder
- ¼ teaspoon cumin powder
- Salt
Mix all ingredients in a medium bowl. Add salt as per your taste.
For more flavor, add tadka (tempering) to it: heat 1 tsp oil, add mustard seeds, cumin seeds, curry leaves, hing, and add it to the raita bowl.
Chill raita, covered, until ready to serve.
