Ingredients for Onion Tomato Raita

  • Yogurt: Use homemade or store-bought full-fat plain yogurt (a.k.a curd or dahi in India) for this raita. You can also use low-fat yogurt or Greek yogurt if that’s what you have.
  • Onions: I prefer to use red onions in raitas. Yellow or white onions would also work well.
  • Tomato: I like to use Roma tomato for this recipe.
  • Fresh Herbs: use fresh coriander leaves (cilantro) and mint (pudina) to enhance the flavors.
  • Seasonings: roasted cumin (jeera) powder, black salt, or regular salt.

What can we serve with Tomato Onion Raita?

This raita is best served chilled, so once made, I like to place it in the fridge for 30 minutes before enjoying it. Serve with Indian flatbreads or parathas, curries, or lentils. This easy onion raita recipe also goes well with Biryanis and Pulao.

Tips & Variations

  1. Use fresh (not sour) and chilled yogurt for this recipe.
  2. Adding milk to the yogurt helps it from turning sour. If you are using fresh yogurt, then skip it.
  3. In this tomato onion raita recipe, you can also add some grated carrots or chopped cucumber.
  4. If you don't have black salt, use regular table salt.
  5. If the raita becomes too thick, add more water or milk.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it keep?

This raita tastes best when served fresh. However, you can store the leftovers in your refrigerator for up to 1 day in an air-tight container. After that, it starts releasing water and does not taste good.

Can I make this raita with Vegan curd?

Yes, to make these vegan, use soy, almond, cashew, or peanut curd.
