Description

Palak raitha. Normal raitha with a twist which tasted yum and is very healthy to. Last week had to send a vegetarian meal over to my friends place. Vegetarian ???? Didn’t know what to do. Broke my head over the menu for a long time and finally came up with some things and this raitha also was one among the dishes. My friend priyas mother in law loved this raitha that she called up to get the recipe from me. This raitha is an awesome combination with rotis and pulao’s. The word raitha always brings back memories of my class mate Rathi Unnikrishnan as she was the one who used this word first with me.Back then not knowing what a raitha was thought it was some exotic North Indian Dish.She did clear my doubt by taking me to our school library and showed me a book which had a picture of raitha (i think it was cucumber raitha)I was like hay , we always make this at home with onions for biriyani but we call it thayir chutney.
