Mixed Vegetable Raita Recipe| Dips Spreads and Sauces Recipes

I am a sucker for one pot meals. Lets just say i love anything that reduces my time in the kitchen. I know this blog doesnt substantiate that statement, but truly, honestly, i hate sweating it out in the kitchen. I prefer cooking quick, easy meals that are delicious, wholesome and to a extent, healthy too. As if God heard my prayers ( which i m sure, he did), he blessed me with a husband who loves his pulao and biryani. Ok, not biryani but pulao. So, once in a week, in an attempt to preserve my sanity and to please his taste buds, i make some kind of pulao. And when ever i make pulao, i also make some kind of raita. If you are wondering what a raita is, its nothing but a yogurt dip usually made with some veggies. This mixed vegetable raita has been my favorite ever since i ate it in a restaurant. Plus, you can make this in advance and store it in the fridge for a small party or a get together.
