Raita

Cucumber is traditional but raita but with biryani, I like to add a little onion and tomato for a bit of sharpness. It can also be made with freshly chopped pineapple, chopped ahd lightly cooked spinach, or left just plain with the addition of the spices. Serve garnished with chopped fresh coriander and/or chopped fresh mint.
