Good To Know
This raita is intended as a supporting side dish, not a standalone meal. It works best when paired with dry sabzis, simple dals, or roti-based meals to add moisture and balance to the plate. Use 2–3 tablespoons alongside your main meal when the food feels dry or plain. This helps make meals more satisfying without increasing portion sizes.How to Use in the Meal Plan
