    About this ebook

    Indian food is very revered worldwide for its variety, tastes and colours. But for many novices, Indian cuisine is synonymous to curry. This book tries to break this jink by introducing Raita to readers, it is simple yet easy to prepare and delicious curd based dish. A Raita is supposed to provide relief from the spicy gravies along with adding richness to the food. Raita, like any other Indian food, varies enormously thanks to the number of ingredients available in local Indian market round the year. Most of the Raitas are very common; whereas some are very-very unusual and rare. Authors tried to include at least few of each type of Raitas with main aim to familiarise readers with art of preparing Indian food.
