Apple Raitha / Yoghurt Dip with Apple
Apple raitha is a delicious Indian side dish that is served along wtih pulao and biriyani. Adding raw vegetables and fresh fruits into curd along with the spices makes it not only tasty but also filling too. This goes best with pulao, biriyani and stuffed parathas. This raitha can be made with some variations too. Instead of red chilli powder, you can add pepper powder or altogether you can skip the spiciness. Always choose thick and fresh curd to make this raitha. Later it will become watery and sour. And sour curd will not suit for this raitha.Also please check my other recipesThakkali carrot thayir pachadiMambazha pachadiNellikai arachukalakki
