#Rainbowweek3 - Raita is a must have yoghurt sauce that is relished especially with Biryani and pulao. Do try this version of mine where I tempered with panch phoron (Bengali five spice), dry red chilli and onion. This is then poured over the yoghurt and it is that simple. A pinch of panch phoron powder to the end product gives this dish an added flavour. Very delicious, relish it with pulao, biryani, plain steamed rice or any Indian bread.
