Notes

  • Cutting onion - Cut onion lengthwise as thin as possible. You can use slicer to slice it thin too.
  • Mixing with salt – I add salt and rest onions before mixing, this removes raw smell and excess water. Try not to skip this step.
  • Curd texture – I usually use thick fresh curd so the raita does not turn watery. Do not use runny curd.
  • Gentle mixing – Mix everything gently once onions are added. Over mixing will spoil texture and curd may turn runny.
  • Extra taste – You can add very little roasted jeera powder or chaat masala. Dont add too much as it will overpower the raita.
  • Add ons – You can also add pomegranate or cucumber if you like. You can also add finely chopped tomatoes and carrot.
