Onion & Carrot Raitha

This is a very simple raitha that can be prepared very easily.This almost goes well with all rice varieties,pulao and even parathas. Sometimes,If I am too bored to prepare a side dish, I make a quick raitha.

  1. When u prepare onion raitha I will give u a tip after cutting the onions wash the onions well in water and then add it to the curd which will not give u raw onion smell in ur mouth usually when we eat onions we wil feel the onion smell na if u do this way onion flavour will remain but mouth will not smell over
