The best accompaniment to any meal is a nice preparation of raita. It is one meal which not only quick and healthy, but never fails to impress you.

Just chop some vegetables and whisk with yoghurt. Your healthy and spicy raita is ready to serve.

Ingredients:

1 cup sliced cucumber
1/2 cup sliced onion
1/2 cup sliced tomatoes
1/3 cup chopped coriander
2 cups whisked yoghurt
3 tsp chaat masala
2tsp pepper powde
3 tsp black salt
Salt to taste

1. Whish yoghurt and keep aside

2. Add the chopped vegetables to the whisked yoghurt

3. Add chaat masala, pepper powder, black salt and salt to the mixture

4. Add chopped coriander

You can also grate the cucumber before adding to the yoghurt. However, I prefer my raita crunchy.
