Our meals are never complete if we do not have raita, pickles or papads as our side dishes. Raita’s get made with whatever is in my fridge – cucumber, apples and carrots, carrots and mint, pomegranates,lemon cucumber raita and the most popular gujarati raita – banana raita (kele ka raita).Banana raita goes really well with certain spicy dishes as its sweet and soothing. As bananas can discolour, we usually make this raita just before we are going to serve our meal.
