The perfect accompaniment to spicy, rice dishes.

Onion raita

Ingredients

Onion, 1, chopped

Salt, to taste

Yoghurt, beaten, 1 cup

Oil, 1 tsp

Mustard seeds, 1 tsp

Asafoetida, a pinch

Curry leaves, a few (optional)

Beat the yoghurt well, with some water to get a creamy mixture. Add salt and mix well. Keep aside.

Take oil in a pan and heat it. Drop the seeds, asafoetida and curry leaves in it and let it all splutter.

Now toss in the chopped onions and saute it well.

Add the cooked onions to the yoghurt, mix well, check salt and serve.

Raita can also be made with cucumber, tomatoes or mixed (onions, tomatoes and cucumber). Just dice the veg of your choice and add it to the yoghurt mixture. Only onion needs to be fried in oil to take off its raw taste. Cucumber, tomatoes etc can be added to the yoghurt straightaway.
