Raita is a side dish and condiment in Indian cuisine made of dahi (yogurt or "curd") together with raw or cooked vegetables, fruit, or pulses. The yogurt may be seasoned with herbs and spices such as coriander, roasted cumin seeds, mint, and cayenne pepper.
Raita is served alongside many Indian dishes such as pulao rice, and as a mild cooling accompaniment to spicy curries.
