How do you eat raita?

Raita can be eaten with curries, vegetable dishes, naan or other breads. I like it in sandwiches, with rice and in tacos. Some raita is really meant to be a salad and not a condiment. In this case, increase the amount of fruits and vegetables and decrease the amount of yogurt.

Can you reuse plates at a buffet?

In a restaurant, plenty of clean, freshly polished plates should be available, which means you should not have to reuse a plate. When you’re going back to the buffet for seconds, don’t hesitate to ask a server to replace a plate or silverware, or retrieve what you need at the buffet table.

Do you eat raita by itself?

Raita can also be deployed beyond Indian cuisine. You can eat it by itself as a savory yogurt snack; you can use it as a marinade for chicken; you can serve it as a side or topping to any hearty dish in need of a light accompaniment—lamb chops, fried things, stuffed breads, roasted vegetables.
