Carrot Raita Recipe| Dips And Spreads Recipes

May 1, 2014 By anusha 5 Comments

I m often reminded of the saying when life gives you lemons, make lemonade when i buy veggies from the nearby farmers market. I am not even sure if its a saying. Well, just saying. So yeah, coming back to the market, i pick up carrots every time i visit. In the hope that i eat one everyday. And the hope shrivels along with a few carrots in three days. You get what i say, no? And then i m sort of tempted or rather forced to make something with the remaining fresh ones. Which is precisely why this blog has a carrot and apple smoothie, a carrot rice, a carrot curry,a carrot pulao, a carrot almond raisin milkshake and a carrot cake. Phew! that s a lot of carrot for any individual. But hey! i love my carrots, which is why i back with yet another carrot recipe today. 

A raita is nothing but a yogurt dip, made the indian way. It usually features a vegetable or a combination of many. Of all the raitas that i whip up, i love this particular recipe. Baby carrots or slightly sweetish carrots work very well with this recipe. You can make this ahead of time and refrigerate. It makes a fantastic dip to serve with cutlets and such. We often enjoy this with a one pot rice dish or some ridge gourd chutney and steaming hot rice. I guess it will work well with any other such rice varieties too.
