Our Cucumber Raitha blends cool natural yoghurt with finely grated cucumber and a light pinch of roasted spices. Fresh, creamy and gently savoury, it is the perfect counterpoint to anything spicy or grilled, and the ideal dip for papadams. A small bowl that makes every dish on the table taste even better.
A dish with a story
Yoghurt-based raithas have been part of Indian meals for centuries, valued for their cooling effect.
Cucumber raitha is a northern classic; in the south, similar dishes are called pachadi.
Now a must-order side wherever Indian food is served, especially with biryani and tandoori dishes.
Raita or raitha? Both spellings exist, and both taste just as fresh.
