‘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.

Did you know, ‘Coriander’ also known as cilantro or parsley, is an annual herb in the family Apiaceae. All parts of the plant are edible, but the fresh leaves and the dried seeds are the parts most traditionally used in cooking. Coriander water detoxifies your body and also helps in weight loss!

Raitas  are easy to go with all Indian meals and we cannot imagine any festive meal without these humble bowl of raitas that are silentb heros in the menu. Do try more Raita Recipes like Onion Ginger RaitaAnar Raita, Boondi Raita, Beetroot Raita,



Dhaniye ka raita tastes best with dal tadka and jeera rice. Relish with some snacks like Indori style moongfali poha, nimki, patra or paneer & cabbage cutlets.
