Spiced Yoghurt is a simple yet tasty preparation served with pulav. It can be easily made in five minutes.
The indian cuisine is elaborate and makes use of many spices. Thus, raita is often prepared as an accompaniment with pulao or biryani. Raita is one or different vegetables mixed in curds along with a few spices. Spiced yoghurt serves the same purpose but it is without any veggies in it.
Spiced yoghurt is a simple curd based dish ideal to serve with  pulav or Veg Jadoh. It is easy to prepare and needs no elaborate preparation. It is tasty and ideal to make when hardly any vegetables are on hand. During the lockdown, if you ever run out of veggies, you can make this one. Infact, I make it when I am bored to chop veggies!
Spiced Yoghurt / Simple Raita for Pulao
All the ingredients that you need are easily available in the kitchen.
Curds- We need fresh curds.
Fresh coriander- I am obsessed with coriander in my cooking and I cannot say enough the need of it here.
Seasoning: A little bit of seasoning with red chillies gives a good taste to it.
Salt – It is the essence of any cooking.
Sugar- It is the sugar that creates a balance of all taste and gives a good flavour to it.

Love to have raita with my meals especially in summers..like the tadka in raita, must have added so much of flavor to it.
I love to have raita as such and tempering adds lot of flavor to raita. Will try next time.
Raita looks superbly delicious. I would love to have it with any meal or bowlful on its own. Loved the tempering over raita.
Love this easy and flavourful Raita . Tadka is making it so tempting. Perfect accompaniment for Pulao.Adding sugar sounds interesting.
Who says you need pulao or biryani to enjoy this yummy raita. I will love it plain and can finish the entire bowl.
Like this simple raita, looks so delicious. Perfect with pulao or biryani. I would probably enjoy a bowlful on its own.

Such an essential side with any rice meal! the raita sounds simple but rounds off the meal in a very satisfactory way and adds lovely cooling contrast.
Simple and delicious side for all variety rice and chitranna!
This raita though simple, is all you need to enjoy pulao-especially with some crispy bhindi, potato or fryums on the side. Pulao and raita pair perfectly.
Simple and delish ! That tadka on top with chilies, looks inviting!
This was so easy to make. My husband’s aunt had visited so we made this and loved every bit of the flavour
