Raita Chutney

Turned the spice up a little too high? Curry Gate's Raita is here to help. This classic Indian side is made with creamy yogurt, fresh cucumber, a touch of roasted cumin and fresh herbs, giving you a cool, refreshing balance to every bold, spicy bite. It's the traditional partner to biryani, and it tastes just as good with tandoori chicken, samosas, pakoras and warm naan.

Because yogurt naturally tames chili heat, raita is a favorite among guests who love exploring the higher end of our 1–10 spice scale. It's light, tangy and just a little savory, so it adds flavor while it cools things down.
