I tasted a simple raitha at Mast kalandar and wanted it to try it the very next day in my home. It was so simple with just cumin, salt and little sugar, but the taste was lingering a long time. A nice accompaniment either be it parathas or any flavoured rice like jeera rice or pulao. To prepare this raitha storebought ones are too good as they are thicker than home made ones. This was made with home made curd only. Just ignore the water floating on the top and gather the thick curd.
Freshy pounded cumin seeds that are lightly dry roasted has an excellent aroma against the readymade ones. So whenever needed make it fresh.
