Raita is basically whisked curd flavored with any type of flavoring and either some fruits or vegetables are then added to it. Curd is an integral part of the meals at my home and I try to make a variety of Raitas as an accompaniment. As mangoes are back, these days I regularly prepare Mango Mint Raita at home. Both my husband and kiddo have sort of fallen in love with it. For almost every meal, they make sure to relish Mango Mint Raita. Mango puree, diced mango and fresh curd, a pinch of salt, sugar and cumin powder and fresh mint leaves is all you need to prepare Mango Mint Raita. It is creamy and succulent. Moreover, the sweetness of mangoes and the slight tang of curd, complement each other very well.

My son loves eating Mango Mint Raita with Laccha Paratha and Vegetable Jalfrezi. I like eating Mango Mint Raita more with Vegetable Dum Biryani. You could even vary the ingredients and make as variations of raita as you want. One of the many reasons for eating raita is that the curd is full of bacteria that is good for the digestive tract. Moreover, it even has vitamin D and calcium. By eating raita, you not only gain vital nutrients but even enhance your health. The best part about eating Mango Mint Raita is that during summer, you feel all cool and satisfied after eating it, this raita makes your diet balanced.
