Spiced Yoghurt is a simple yet tasty preparation served with pulav. It can be easily made in five minutes.
The indian cuisine is elaborate and makes use of many spices. Thus, raita is often prepared as an accompaniment with pulao or biryani. Raita is one or different vegetables mixed in curds along with a few spices. Spiced yoghurt serves the same purpose but it is without any veggies in it.
Spiced yoghurt is a simple curd based dish ideal to serve with pulav or Veg Jadoh. It is easy to prepare and needs no elaborate preparation. It is tasty and ideal to make when hardly any vegetables are on hand. During the lockdown, if you ever run out of veggies, you can make this one. Infact, I make it when I am bored to chop veggies!
All the ingredients that you need are easily available in the kitchen.
Curds- We need fresh curds.
Fresh coriander- I am obsessed with coriander in my cooking and I cannot say enough the need of it here.
Seasoning: A little bit of seasoning with red chillies gives a good taste to it.
Salt – It is the essence of any cooking.
Sugar- It is the sugar that creates a balance of all taste and gives a good flavour to it.
