Onion Raitha (Indian Tzatziki)

Raitha is an yogurt-based Indian style sauce that goes great with rice dishes

such as Pilau and Biriyani. It’s quite similar to a greek Tzatziki and is quick

and quite easy to make. It’s great especially with super spicy indian dishes as

it provides as a sweet and cooling effect.
