A delicious and healthy dip or side to accompany any Indian recipe. A little different from the usual cucumber raita this raita is made with whisked Greek yogurt along with grated radish, walnut, pomegranate and mint to make a delicious dip, scooped with naan or chips or make it part of a mezze.
The sharpness of radishes is tamed by the creamy yogurt and the toasted walnuts add a crunchy element, along with mint for freshness and pomegranate for that sweet tart flavor, this recipe is a keeper. Try it as a side dish to accompany curries and rice dishes to cool things off.
Enjoy!
