Carrot Radish Raita
Carrot Radish Raita is a healthy and delicious yogurt based Indian dip recipe. It makes a perfect side dish which complements any rice or flatbreads.
Ingredients
- 2 medium Carrots peeled, grated
- 5-6 medium Red radishes grated
- 2 tbsp Cilantro chopped
- 2 medium Green chillies finely chopped
- 1/2 cup Yogurt thick
- 2 tbsp Peanuts roasted, crushed
- 1/4 tsp Black pepper powder freshly ground
- 1/3 tsp Sugar
- 1/3 tsp Salt
Instructions
- Grate red radish, add a pinch of salt, and let it sit aside for 10 minutes.
- Squeeze out the water from the radish and transfer it into a medium sized bowl.
- Combine the grated carrots, chopped cilantro, and green chillies in the same bowl.
- Whisk some yogurt and combine it into the bowl.
- Add salt, sugar, freshly ground black pepper, crushed peanuts, and mix everything well.
Notes
- Adding a pinch of salt into grated radish for 10 minutes will help to release the water from the radish.
- Squeezing out the water from the radish will keep the raita thick, creamy, and tasty.
- Combining full fat yogurt or greek yogurt makes the raita taste heavenly - but you can add any kind of plain yogurt.
- Adjust the spiciness, salt, and sugar according to your taste.
- You can skip adding crushed peanuts into the recipe for a nut-free option.
- Adding Serrano peppers instead of green chillies gives an amazing taste to the dish as well.
