Raita is an Indian condiment made with yogurt, vegetables, herbs and spices. It's often made with cucumber, but in spring, we like to use fresh fennel and mint. Try it with our Red Lentil Dal with Caramelized Onions, Carrots and Peas. It's also delicious with lamb, poultry or fish. Save the pretty fennel fronds to garnish the bowl.
