Radish raita is a refreshing and flavorful yogurt-based side dish that is commonly served in Indian cuisine. It is a mixture of grated radishes, yogurt, spices, and herbs. The radishes add a crisp texture and a slightly peppery flavor to the raita, while the yogurt provides a cooling and creamy base. Spices such as cumin, coriander, and red chili powder add depth and warmth to the dish, while herbs like cilantro and mint add a fresh and aromatic touch. Radish raita is a versatile side dish that can be paired with a variety of dishes, including grilled meats, roasted vegetables, or rice.

RADISH RAITA ( YOGURT SIDE DISH)
Steps:
- Combine grated radish, tomato, grated coconut and yogurt into bowl. In small pan, under medium high heat, place 2 tsps of oil. When oil is hot, place asafoetida and mustard seed. Shake the pan up and cover. When mustard seeds start popping turn the heat down to low and place the curry leaf and broken up red chili (be careful to not burn yourself). Mix everything with a spoon until coated with oil and the curry leaf is crunchy but not burned. Pour this oil mixture onto the yogurt. To get all of the oil out, I usually put a spoon or two of the yogurt into the oil pan and pour it back in with the rest of the yogurt. Put salt and mix thoroughly. Garnish with cilantro. Sometimes I add a pinch of chopped ginger too, but this is optional
