When you are making something spicy like a pulav or briyani, the one thing which you want on the side is a cool and creamy raita..Without raita no meal is complete..We often make raita with a whole lot of different vegetables..But this one is my absolute favorite..It is made with cucumber and some extra special stuffs are added to it..And one tip which i can give is whenever you are making a raita add a touch of sugar to it, which makes the raita balanced in taste and taste way better..This is a perfect dish for hot summer days, when you want something cool..
I hope you will love this and let me know what you think..
