Why This Recipe Works

This onion raita is a simple, stir-together recipe adapted by us from Kaumudi Marathé's The Essential Marathi Cookbook (2009). It works wonderfully when paired with Marathé's Kombdi, Jira Ghalun (Cumin-Scented Chicken), where the cooling, creamy yogurt balances the rich, spicy sauce and the earthy smokiness of the cumin.

Before You Begin

This recipe is best with plain whole-milk yogurt. Do not use low-fat, nonfat, or Greek yogurt in this raita.

Instructions

  1. Whisk yogurt, cumin, sugar, and salt in bowl until thoroughly combined. Stir in onion and cilantro. Season with salt to taste. Serve.
