Pineapple Raita

Ready in few minutes, this pineapple raita is creamy, delicious and the perfect side dish for just about any meal!

This pineapple raita, is full of flavours, earthy aroma of cumin with juicy bites of pineapple wrapped in yoghurt, salty, sweet and refreshing.
I prefer to add black salt, as it imparts a salty flavour in the background without overpowering unlike the table salt.
Such a satisfying bowl of raita where each ingredient just uplifts the dish.

Chill the raita before serving.
