Onion raita for biryani | How to make onion raita for biryani & pulao

By swasthi , on May 22, 2019, 11 Comments, Jump to Recipe

Onion raita recipe for biryani – a side dish to accompany biryani or pulao.. Raita is a side dish made with yogurt and is often served with biryani and any kind of pulao. Ingredients like onion, chili, mint or coriander leaves are used to make it. Some recipes even use pepper powder and cumin powder, which we personally don’t prefer in a onion raita. Sometimes I do add very little lemon juice to add slight sourness, if the yogurt is fresh.

Raita is usually accompanied with a biryani, pulao or any rice dish and with most non-vegetarian dishes. I even have it as a side with my roti, multigrain roti too when I’m unable to prepare anything else.

onion raita is very frequently made at home and is very very simple. This is the same i make to go with my veg biryani, chicken biryani, chicken fry, chicken curry too.

To make a best raita, I suggest using good well set thick yogurt that is not sour. If the onions are very pungent, you can cut each onion to two parts and soak them in water for about 30 minutes. This makes them less pungent. Chop them and use.
