Raita with a tempering or tadke wala Raita is a common side dish to go with meals. This one is with Baby Bottle Gourd or Kaddu. It's a perfect choice for an accompaniment. Not only is it healthy, it's absolutely flavourful and delicious with the crunch of the bottle gourd and the onions.

Unlike simple Raita, it's a Raita with a simple tempering. It goes well with both Rotis and Rice. Infact it goes very well alongside Parathas, Puris and even Khichdi. It's the most loved one in my house. And Raita with Vegetables definitely adds an element of aroma and flavour with utmost health benefits of the amazing Vitamins and Minerals present in them as well.

Homemaker by choice and a passionate cook by heart. An aspiring cook who actually never knew anything about Cooking until i became a mother myself.With Motherhood came the responsibilities as well and this was the turning point in my life.I started to learn the ABC's of cooking, taking help from my mother and my MIL. And time just flew. I spread my wings higher and higher. With my love for excellence and innovation, i stepped into a world of homecooks with my exposure to Cookpad one fine day on the social media. And there was no looking back since then and i have not only shared recipes here on this wonderful platform but also have made some lovely friends as well. Today iam successful because of my hard work, dedication and loads of good wishes of my family and my kids in particular.
