Another of those busy morning days when I come back home hungry for lunch, almost famished and want to eat the whole world. I am missing my gym and I am not liking it. So I can’t eat the whole world and have to settle down for some good choices and filling and yumm choices.
A little bit of protein, small portion of carb, good fiber and in raw form. What better than some nibbles and a dip. So that’s what I did the other day, made a quick and hearty yogurt dip and chopped some fresh veggies, poured out some baked pita chips on my plate and all set to munch and crunch. Crunch I say because these things make crunchy noise in your mouth when you chomp on them ;).
Here is the easy peasy lemon squeazy Yogurt Dip or Raita.
Raita is an Indian word for yogurt accompaniments.
This is perfect for parties too or serve it along a good meal of pilaf and naan! Versatile ?

Mmmmm love raita, never had with carrots, love this. I think I could eat it by the bowlful.
That’s what I did Suzanne :). It was soothing and filling with pita chips and all the other crunchies.

I adore raita and like to add it to curries, tandoor chicken, samosas or just dunk bread into it. I love the cooling tang it brings to all Indian dishes 🙂
I agree 🙂
