Onion Raita Recipe

Onion Raita or Vengaya Thayir Pachadi as we call in Tamil is a must sidedish for biryani.The combination of biryani with raita is like match made in heaven and I cannot imagine eating biryani without onion raita.There are many variations to this onion raita but this is the simple one amma usually makes and I am hooked on it too. The variations include onion tomato raita, onion cucumber raita, onion mint raita,cucumber onion tomato raita etc but the one I am sharing is a very simple onion raita which is the best sidedish for biryani.

Serve with biryani.

My Notes:

  • You can add fresh chopped mint leaves, chopped tomato or chopped cucumber.
  • You can add a pinch of roasted jeera powder / chat masala too.
  • You can even use hand whisk to blend it together.
  • Choose thick fresh curd.

    Simple and quick. Perfect match for your Chettinadu Biriyani, you posted last week. If we keep cut onion with salt, whether colour will change little? Is it okay? As usual your pictures are tempting to make and eat but today is Ekadasi can't eat onion, waiting for sunday.
