Recipe for Mommy’s Special Raita
Recipe for Mommy's Special Raita
A Biryani without Raita is like Chrisan without Floyd ……Absolutely BLAH!!! There are many types of Raita Boondi, Beetroot, Cucumber, Carrot and then there is Mixed Raita! Ooooooh so delish!This Raita that we make at home is not your regular Raita. You may or may not like it. We often get mixed reactions to this for the simple reason that it contains sugar. It is a sweetish Raita. It is my personal Absolute favourite and I would rather enjoy this raita or a plain yogurt but no other raita satisfies me as much.The best part is that this is Floyd’s favourite too. Heloves this raita so much that he eats it plain. When I noticed this, I thoughtthat I must share the recipe. At home we have some who love it and some who don’t.So do give it a try and let me know which team do you belong to Team A or TeamB
