Raita is one of the best Indian accompaniments. It is easy to make, healthy, and super hydrating. Made with yogurt, this dish provides an instant energy boost and is best to pair up with your usual Indian meals. While I love making variety of raitas like cucumber raita, boondi raita, palak raita, especially during the summer months. Today I am sharing a very popular onion tomato raita recipe. This simple onion tomato raita elevates your everyday meal by adding a light, refreshing touch. All you need to make this are simple ingredients, such as curd, chopped onion, tomato, and a few spices.
Onion Tomato Raita Recipe Ingredients
Yogurt: Use store-bought full-fat or homemade plain yogurt (a.k.a curd or dahi in India). You can also use low-fat yogurt or Greek yogurt if that’s what you have. Onions: I prefer to use red onions in raitas. Yellow or white onions would also work well. Tomato: I like to use Roma tomato for this recipe. Fresh Herbs: use fresh coriander leaves (cilantro) and mint (pudina) to enhance the flavors. Seasonings: roasted cumin (jeera) powder, black salt, or regular salt.
How to Make Onion Tomato Raita
Whisk yogurt (or curd) in a large mixing bowl until it’s smooth and consistent. Add chopped onions, tomatoes, green chilies, coriander leaves, roasted jeera powder, and black salt. Mix everything well. Serve the onion tomato raita with biryani, or pulao.
Storage
This raita tastes best when served fresh. However, you can store the leftovers in an airtight container in your refrigerator for up to one day. After that, they start releasing water and do not taste good.
