Summers are here and we all long for something refreshing. Something to soothe the stomach. Something cool!

Raitas are just perfect for summers.

Raita is yogurt-based Indian side and can be made with a variety of different veggies. They are a wonderful side to have with your meals and are so versatile, they would compliment any main - from rotis to rice and one-pot dishes. Perfect to pair with spicy food.

Low-fat, nutritious, quick and healthy and absolutely yum! They practically sell themselves, don't they? :)

This is the first one on my list.. and my go to side.

5 ingredients is all you need.
