Carrot Raita (Yogurt Dip)
• Freshly grated carrots provide the best texture and natural sweetness. • Roasted cumin is a classic raita seasoning and adds warmth and depth. • For a thicker raita, use Greek yogurt. • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Health Benefits: Carrots provide beta-carotene, which the body converts to vitamin A to support eye and immune health. Yogurt contributes protein, calcium, and beneficial probiotics that support gut health. Fresh herbs, cumin, and spices add antioxidants and flavor with minimal calories, making this a cooling, nutrient-dense accompaniment that pairs well with spiced meals.
