Coming to today’s recipe, if you really glance through it, you may think, is it a recipe? I had this raita the first time at my cousin’s house when her sis-in-law made it as a side for her fried rice. I mean, when we think of a raita, it needs to have at least an onion cut up in it, but this one had literally nothing, just plain yogurt with a lovely tinge of orangish red (if that’s a color!). The raita was soon getting over when the men were feeding themselves so I rushed to inform that we should be doing an extra batch. That is when I saw her putting it together again and I was surprised. So easy, so simple, yet so delicious! I love recipes like that – which has hardly any work but tastes out of the world! 🙂 I had kept a mental note to make it when I get a chance to, but I had no name to this raita, nor did she know the name. That is when I chanced upon Jyothi’s post and it clicked me – the ingredients were so similar… This raita originates from Hyderabad, as per Jyothi and when you have nothing that pairs good enough for a raita, then this is a real simple one with ingredients just there in your pantry! Apart from biriyani or pulao, I am sure this raita would go really well with parathas too…

  2. I like the way you ended up with the recipe. I too never knew the name but most of the days I make raitas like this as my man doesnt like onions in raita. It is exactly the same ingredients I use with different random proportions! 😛 so Burani it is 😛
