Sliced Onion Raita.

Sliced Onion Raita ...... Goes well with any dish, be it pulav, biryani, roti or simply as a side dish with Dal-chawal ......

Raitas of any type are really a welcome site anywhere, be it at functions, restaurants or at home. I am a salad and soup lover. Simply love these side dish along with some spicy pulav / biryani / khichidi. Raitas belong to salad group itself the difference being that beaten curds are added to the otherwise plain salad along with spices or seasoning. There are so many varieties of salads that one can fix up, also the variations and combinations also are vast. Today I have kept the raita simple as I was to serve it with a very spicy pulav and I did not want to make it more elaborate by adding seasonings or heavy spices.

Ingredients :

1 cup curds.

3 medium sized onions.

4-5 medium spicy green chillies.

Salt to taste.

Peel and slice the onions lengthwise as thinly as possible. 

Slit the green chillies lengthwise and cut them into 3” pieces.

Put the curds in a bowl and beat it well to get a smooth texture. There should be no lumps or no water leaving the side. Add in the sliced onions, green chillies and salt to taste. Mix well. Keep it in the refrigerator till serving time.

Serve with any dish of your choice. Goes well with spicy briyani, pulav, khichidi etc. I sometimes serve them with parathas too.
