Carrot Radish Raita is a healthy and delicious yogurt based Indian dip recipe. This crunchy raita is made with creamy yogurt, carrots, red radish, cilantro, and green chillies. It makes a perfect side dish which complements any rice or flatbreads.

Spicy, zesty, and crispy radish is not very popular amongst everyone due to its pungent smell and strong taste. When the spiciness of the red radish is paired with the sweetness of the carrots and the sourness of the yogurt, it tastes exceptionally delicious.

This carrot radish raita is very creamy and takes 15 minutes to put together. You will just need to grate carrots and radish, squeeze out the water from the radishes, add some creamy yogurt, some spices, and you are done!

I used to run away whenever my mom prepared any dishes with radish due to the smell. Once the dish was ready, I never felt that I was not liking the dish.

My mom always squeezed out the juicy radishes before using them in the recipes so they will not release any water later in the dish, which also helped to remove that sharp smell from them.

My family enjoys this raita a lot. I hope you will get a chance to try this carrot radish raita and it will become one of your family favorite raita dishes as well.
