Raita is a savory, mildly spiced yogurt vegetable or fruit salad. Eaten in small portions alongside a meal to cool off the heat of chiles or spices, raitas also work as palate cleansers. I prefer this light corn raita with chicken or seafood dishes.

This recipe was excerpted from ‘Masala’ by Anita Jaisinghani. Buy the full book on Amazon.
