Recipe
1. in a small bowl take 1 cup fresh dahi (curd or yogurt). The curd should not be sour or taste acidic. I suggest using fresh homemade fresh curd.

The curd can be cold or at room temperature.
2. With a wired whisk, whip till smooth.
3. Now add ⅓ cup finely chopped onions and 2 tablespoons chopped coriander leaves (cilantro). The addition of onions is optional and can be skipped.

Instead of coriander leaves you can also use mint leaves or half half of both. But don’t add stem of mint leaves as that can make the raita bitter.

4. Now add Sam Masale Raitan Masala
5. Stir and mix very well.
6. Serve masala raita as a side dish with roti-sabzi or dal rice or with pulao or biryani or any rice based dishes.

While serving you can garnish the dahi raita with some chopped coriander leaves, red chili powder, chaat masala powder and roasted cumin powder.
