          Usually when I made raitha at home, it's mostly with cucumber or sometimes with carrots or beets or even with just onions, this is the first time I tried out with pineapple. I knew that pineapple and yogurt go well together, but what made the raitha more interesting was the walnuts. I actually made the raitha with only half a pineapple, but we just loved it so much, that I ended up making it with the remaining half too, do try this if you like pineapple..

Need To Have

• Pineapple - 1/2 cup, chopped
• Yogurt/Curd - 1/2 cup
• Honey - 1 teaspoon
• Toasted And Chopped Walnuts - 2 tablespoons
• Chopped Coriander - 1 tablespoon
• Black Pepper Powder - 1/4 teaspoon
• Salt to taste

Method


          Add the honey, salt and pepper powder to the yogurt and mix it well.


          Now add the chopped pineapple, walnuts and chopped coriander and mix. That's it, enjoy it with any pilaf or paratha, or just have it by itself.


Note
Use nice, sweet pineapple.

          Everytime, I made raitha/thayir pachadi, it was mostly cucumber or onion or tomato raitha or a combination of all these vegetables together. I have even made raitha with zucchini and pumpkin, but this is the first time I made this raitha with potatoes. Once the potatoes are boiled and peeled, the raitha can be put together in no time and can be served as a side to parathas, rotis, briyanis or pilafs..

Need To Have

• Boiled, Peeled And Diced Potatoes - 1 cup
• Yogurt/Curd - 1 cup
• Grated Ginger - 1 teaspoon
• Chopped Coriander - 1 tablespoon
• Green Chilly - 1, chopped finely
• Roasted Cumin Powder - 1/4 teaspoon
• Salt to taste
• Red Chilly Powder, Roasted Cumin Powder and Chopped Coriander to Garnish

Method


          Take the potatoes, ginger, green chilly and coriander, add the yogurt/curd, roasted cumin powder and salt and mix everything together. Garnish with red chilly powder, roasted cumin powder and chopped coriander and serve.


Note
The raitha can be served chilled or at room temperature.
