Notes
- Mooli raita tastes great when radish is fresh and tender.
- If required add more curd and adjust the desired consistency.
- In case, you are making raita too ahead of serving ...in such cases, Add salt to the raita just before serving them. Else the radish will leave a lot of water and make raita watery
- You can also add chopped tomatoes to it.
- The above recipe is south Indian style raita. You can add a pinch of jeera powder, red chilli powder, chat masala & black salt to above raita to make it in the north Indian style
