Recipes for Sauces & Marinades

Raita is a mixture of yogurt, vegetables, and often fresh herbs (sometimes a little fruit makes its way in here too) that’s served alongside spicy curries across India. It is the ultimate cooling agent when your mouth starts to burn with heat from chilies. It’s also just wonderful atop a bed of wilted greens or swirled into soup. Raita is the perfect thing to have hanging around in the fridge. Have you ever had raita? Here’s a very simple recipe to make a bowlful at home.
