Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for the Best Coriander Onion Raita

For a smoother raita, strain the yogurt through a cheesecloth-lined sieve before using to remove any excess whey.
If using a very tart yogurt, consider adding a pinch of sugar to balance the flavors.
For a tangier kick, add a squeeze of lime juice before serving.
Feel free to experiment with other herbs and spices like cumin powder or a pinch of garam masala for a deeper flavor profile.
