Guest guest Posted November 26, 2005 Report Share Posted November 26, 2005 Do any of you have a tried-and-true recipe for a spicy lowfat yogurt dip that would work well with veggies? I'm looking for one with lots of spice and flavor so I can't tell that it isn't sour cream<g>. Thanks much, Sherry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 Sherry ~ Have you ever had an Indian raita? Methinks that would be just the thing you are looking for! A simple Google search will undoubtedly yield zillions of results. These spiced yogurt dips may feature anything from potato to banana, though the most common variety I have seen is cucumber. I never fail to order it in Indian restaurants to dunk into with my flatbread and cool the flaming hot stuff that I crave. courtney of naughtycurry.com , Sherry Rose <sherry@c...> wrote: > > Do any of you have a tried-and-true recipe for a spicy lowfat yogurt dip > that would work well with veggies?

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 > Have you ever had an Indian raita? I remember that there's a basic recipe for raita in the Files - look in the Asian folder :=) And if you come up with any more out there when you're googling, do let us know if you try them, okay?? Thanks! Love, Pat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 Courtney, thanks for your kind suggestion. Actually, I don't care for riata, unfortunately -- wish I did! Maybe I should try it with really spicy food, though, for a refreshing cooldown, as you suggested. Sherry At 04:18 PM 11/29/2005, you wrote: >Sherry ~ >Have you ever had an Indian raita?

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 Thanks, Tannu! I didn't know riatas were made in such variety. When you say " curd " in your recipes, do you mean plain yogurt as we would buy in the US or drained yogurt or something else?

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 Hi Tannu - I'm not Sherry, but thanks so much for these - I shall be saving them for my personal recipe book :=) Maida, who is the moderator who files all the recipes, has placed them in the Asian Meals folder in our Files - there's a (temporary, until we see what else to put in it) folder there for Raita.

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 Tannu-- These raita recipes look great! I'm definitely gonna try the second one. What part of India are you from? Sherry ~ No problem. So what kind of concoction are you looking for? I have another one up my sleeve, *but* it's really hot and tangy, and has Indian spices. courtney of naughtycurry.com , flamboyant flame <flamboyantster@g...> wrote: > > Dear Sherry > > I just saw you mail... > I'm an Indian and raita are there in our dails meals. > You can go about making different types of riata with the basic ingredients > available at home:- > > follwoing are th two i like the most > > Vegetable raita:- > > 1. one cup - Curd > 2.
