Coriander Chutney Raita

 Guys, making a "raita" is simple: just mix the ingredients, refrigerate, and serve as a accompaniment with your dish you are serving. The beautiful part of raita is it's  freshness, carrying a "just made and refrigerated" sign! However, a good balance of taste needs to be maintained throughout, and to do that, you have to keep tasting and make the measurements as per your taste. The recipe we will be sharing today is a raita combined with none other than a coriander chutney. Make sure you use fresh yogurt, fresh coriander and fresh garlic for a better taste. You can enjoy it with a hot paratha, naan or enjoy it as quick evening snack- after all , it is healthy and good for diet! Happy Feasts to you all!
