RADISH RAITHA

There are two different styles in doing this simple radish raitha.
This is the first one.



RADISH RAITHA (1)
Ingredients:

1 radish skinned and grated
1 cup yogurt
1 red onion chopped fine
1 tomato chopped fine
2 green chillies chopped fine
1 tsp oil
½ tsp cumin seeds
Few curry leaves chopped
Salt to taste

Method:
Grate the radish, add in the chopped onions, tomato, salt
And green chillies.
Heat oil in a pan add in the cumin seeds and curry leaves.
Add it to the radish mixture.
Finally add in the curds and mix well before serving.


Note: Add the curd according to the consistency you want.
Some people like to saute the grated radish in a tsp of oil to get
rid of the raw smell. I use it raw.
