How to serve, ‘Tomato Raita / Yogurt based Tomato Dip (Indian style)’:

Tomato Onion Raita is generally served with Indian style rice dishes, like these pulao, biryani, below:

• Green Beans Masala Rice
• Methi Pulao / Rice with Fenugreek Leaves
• Sweet Corn – Cashew Rice
• Pudina Carrot Pulao / Mint Carrot Rice
• Green Moong Beans (Sprouts) Pulao (Instant Pot / Stove top)
• Spinach & Chickpeas Pulao Rice (South Indian style)
• Lentils & Veg Rice (Instant Pot Indian Recipe)
• Sesame Rice / Til Chawal / Nuvvula Annam
• Kobbari Annam / Coconut Rice

But otherwise it can happily be savoured as a dip, with chips, crackers, roti, naan bread too.

It can also be served as an accompaniment / side, in a meal platter having curry, Indian pulao, roti.

I would even use this as a spread for simple sandwiches, and as a filling for tacos. Its a quick fix you see. 🙂
