Rayta
Rayta is a traditional dish from the Indian subcontinent, particularly popular in the regions of Punjab and Haryana. It is a spicy, tangy, and slightly sweet curry made with a variety of vegetables, often including potatoes, cauliflower, and bell peppers. The dish is typically prepared with a base of yogurt, which gives it a creamy texture and a mild cooling effect. The vegetables are cooked in a spicy gravy made from a blend of aromatic spices such as cumin, coriander, turmeric, and red chili powder. Rayta is often served as a side dish, accompanying main courses like biryani, roti, or paratha. It is known for its refreshing taste and is a popular choice for those who prefer lighter, less oily meals. Rayta can be customized with different vegetables based on availability and personal preference, making it a versatile dish in Indian cuisine.
