    Broccoli Raita is an easy and healthy Indian side dish recipe made with plain yogurt (curd), sautéed broccoli, and some spices. It can be served with Vegetable Pulao, Veg Biryani, or eaten as it is. This Broccoli Yogurt dip is Low Carb and Kids friendly.

    I love adding side dishes to my meal. Whether chutney, achaar, papad, or anything else, I love how side dishes instantly enhance the meal and the mood.

    In Indian cuisine, we have quite a few popular accompaniments. My favorite one has to be Raita. It is quick, easy and versatile. All you need is a bowl of curd, some seasonings, and ingredients like boondi, beetroot, carrot, onion, tomato, or roasted cumin seeds powder. You can experiment with a wide variety of ingredients. My favorites are beetroot raita, boondi raita, cucumber raita, mixed veg raita, and more. While exploring my love for food, I got my hands on a very interesting recipe called broccoli raita. Sounds interesting! Isn’t it? Trust me, it tasted delicious! 

    Broccoli is a highly versatile veggie that can be used in a variety of ways, including salad, stir fry, pulao, noodles, and sandwiches, and the list is long, but broccoli raita is one of the best ways to enjoy its goodness. So, what are you waiting for? It's time to try the recipe by yourself! Read below. 

    Normally, I use plain yogurt, but if you like raitas to be a little thick and creamy, use plain Greek Yogurt. If you want it thinner, mix in cold water until you achieve the desired consistency.

    How to Make Broccoli Raita

    Firstly, heat ½ teaspoon of oil in a Kadai. Add cumin (jeera) seeds. Let them splutter. Then add green chilies and ginger and saute for a few seconds.

    Add chopped broccoli, salt, and saute for 2-3 minutes till the broccoli is cooked well. Cool the mixture before mixing it with the yogurt.

    Then, whisk the yogurt or curd in a large mixing bowl.

    Add sautéed broccoli mixture and salt. Taste at this stage to make sure the amount of salt and spices is enough.

    Broccoli Raita/Broccoli Yogurt dip is ready, Serve chilled.

    Serving Suggestions for Broccoli Raita

    You can serve Broccoli Raita with Indian dishes like Indian flatbreads or parathas, curries, or lentils. This yogurt-based side dish also goes well with Biryanis and Pulao.

    Tips & Variations

    • Adding milk to the yogurt prevents it from turning sour. If you are using fresh yogurt, then skip it.
    • You have to saute or steam broccoli because raw broccoli doesn't taste great with this raita. Grated cucumber or carrots can also be added to this recipe.
    • You can also add finely chopped mint (pudina) or coriander leaves.
    • To Make it Keto friendly, use Greek Yogurt.
