‘Dhaniye ka raita’ or coriander raita is a very popular side dish in North India not just because it is simple to make, but also because it’s tangy & spicy flavors go great with tea time snacks as well. Yes, you read it correct……besides, being served with the regular Indian meals, it is also served as a sauce/dip with fritters (Pakoras), stuffed paranthas and other snacks.
Taste this and you will get to know how well these contrasting flavors play a medley. The soothing and cooling property of curd when combined with the freshness of coriander and heat of green chilly tastes splendid. Usually when I make this to team up with snacks, I prefer adding more amount of green chilly...this way it makes a wonderful homemade Hot Sauce at no extra efforts.
