Re: I need Raita recipes
I love the one where you char the eggplant and then peel it and cut it up and add it to dahi. I thnk you add onions to it too and salt/pepper. Does anyone know if anything else goes into it?

Re: I need Raita recipes
for a simple, not remotely fancy, recipe that takes a couple minutes and no effort, just take cucumber and use a...i forget what they're called but they are like shredding boards that you rub the cucumber against and it shreds the cucumber, add that to the plain yogurt, add salt and laal mirch to taste...trust me it tastes yummy! :)

Re: I need Raita recipes
You can also add "Kala namak" or Rock salt in Raita. It's considered a **cooling **spice and is mined from the Himalayan mountains in India and Pakistan.
In ancient Tib-e-Yunani (Hikmat), later known as Ayurvedic Medicine in India, black salt has been used as a digestive aid, It's also believed to relieve heartburn and gas. It contains plenty of trace minerals other than just sodium chloride in regular salt. Besides the trac eminerals, it's also rich in Iron and other sulphurous compounds.
Story short, a heavy spicy meal can be coupled with a cooling salad or raita sprinkled with black salt to enhance digestion and to relieve intestinal gas, bloating, heartburn, indigestion, etc.
