Raita is an amazingly healthy and an yummy side dish made of yoghurt to which veggies / fruits / herbs are added. It is an essential accompaniment to Biryani, pulao, khichdi, jeera rice or any type of Indian bread.

There are various types of raita that you can dish out. But today let me share an unusual raita prepared with boiled chana dal. I added a tempering to it which took it to another level.
