ONION RAITA

  Onion Raita is one of the side dish recipe mostly served with Pulao, Biryani. The combination of biryani, pulao and raita is like match made in heaven and I cannot imagine eating biryani without raita. There are many variations of this onion raita but this is very simple and with very few ingredients. The variations include onion-tomato raita, onion- cucumber raita, onion-mint raita, etc. But today I am sharing simple onion raita which is the best side dish for biryani.
