Raitha is an yogurt-based Indian style sauce that goes great with rice dishes such as Pilau and Biriyani. It's quite similar to a greek Tzatziki and is quick and quite easy to make. It's great especially with super spicy indian dishes as it provides as a sweet and cooling effect.
4
500 gm of Greek Yogurt
One Red onion
50 gm of Cucumber
Sprigs of Mint
Dash of Honey
Hint of Chilli Powder (Spicy option)/ Hint of sugar (Sweet option)
Chop the onion into tiny cubes (0.5-1cm or 3/8 inches sized cubes)
Slice the cucumber into tiny strips (Julienne). Hand crush the mint.
Prep the serving bowl with yogurt and add the onions and cucumber.
Add the mint, honey, 1 tsp of salt and the sugar/chilli powder (Depending on the sweet/spicy choice)
Mix well and serve. Garnish with additional mint as required.
