Onion Raita Recipe For Biryani

LAST UPDATED: Jun 23, 2021 . PUBLISHED: Aug 4, 2015 by Asiya . 2 Comments

Jump to Recipe

Onion Raita Recipe is a simple side dish and yet very essential accompaniment made with Biryani. Onion Raita is made with curd and onions. Onion Raita Recipe is very flavorful and the best option to be accompanied with spicy rice varieties such as pulao or biryani recipes.

I often make onion raita as an accompaniment with biryani be it dum biryani or hyderabadi mutton biryani or hyderabadi veg biryani and the raita which is made here gives a traditional touch to it.

The recipe of raita is quite simple and can be made in minutes. We just need yogurt and few chopped onions as the basic ingredients.

Whenever we are not willing to eat curd then onion raita or any other raita variation is the best option.

In Hyderabadi households whenever biryani recipes are made, side dishes such as mirchi ka salan, bagara baingan or raita recipes such as onion raita recipe or carrot raita recipe is made.

Biryani rice varities which are generally spicy and can be eaten plain, but if eaten along with raita keeps the tummy cool and also keeps away from other acidity problems.

The raita can be modified in many ways and many raita variations can be made by adding different ingredients and making the raita very colorful.

The raita varieties are cucumber raita, boondi raita, mint raita, pineapple raita, fruit raita etc and I would be glad to update my blog with raita variants and keep you updated with many more Indian Recipes.
