 Using fresh thick curd is preferred. Adding onion to the raita gives good crunchy taste to it. If you are planning to prepare this Raita on vrats then skip adding onions. Adding cucumber to the raita gives good refreshing taste to it. Coming to spices we add roasted cumin seeds powder and pepper powder along with little red chilli powder and finely grated green chilli which adds spicy to the Raita. 

 

                                            

        I regularly prepare this Raita as accompaniment to veg pulao's, pulkas. Recently I prepared this pomegranate raita for peas pulao. Many of my friends requested to post this Raita recipe, here I am posting 😍.
