Raita is something which can add extra zing to your food plate. It is not really very necessary but when you add it in your meal, it can take your food to different profile of flavor and your plate looks more eloborated. Adding Raita in the food has some health benefit as well as yoghurt is a probiotic and  immensely healthy. Some of the Veggies can be added to it raw as well as cooked/Boiled. Ghiya(Bottle Gourd) Raita here in the recipe boiled/cooked and is very famous in Indian household. Everyone has different style of making and it vary from place to place. Here I am sharing recipe of Ghiya(Bottle Gourd) Raita.

Bathua ka raita is something which I  have grown up eating in winters every day and night for all winter months.Raita is everyone's favorite back home. This recipe is very simple. Just blench the Bathua in boiling water for couple of minutes and then mash it coarsely, mix it with Yoghurt and seasoned with Salt,Pepper,Roasted Cumin,Black Salt and in a jiffy the most famous and admired North-Indian delicacy of winter is ready to be served with any meal.You can always use the blender to make it a fine paste but then it blends with Yoghurt so well that you can't really figure out what is mixed in the Yoghurt. Coarse paste provide the body to the Raita  and increases the  flavour profile of the dish. So I like hand mashed Bathua.
