Raita is a classic side dish you’ll always find in Indian restaurants. My Indian Tomato and Cucumber Raita recipe cools spicy food perfectly—and it takes only minutes to prepare. With just a few simple ingredients—creamy yogurt, tomato, cucumber, cumin, and fresh cilantro (coriander)—you can serve it as a simple, refreshing no-cook dip or side.
