It tastes yummy with Rice varieties, Pulaos, Biryani's...

Note:

If your curd tastes sour add 1 tsp sugar and beat it nicely.It will reduce the sourness.

If you want to prepare the raita ahead,do all the chopping work and keep them ready and mix it just before serving.This way the raita would not become watery.You can even sprinkle some salt on the onions and leave it for some time,remove the extra water by squeezing and add then mix with curd and can be refrigerated until its use,this way the raita will not become watery.

You can add chopped cucumber in the recipe along with onions and tomatoes.

Replace coriander leaves with mint leaves for a refreshing taste.

For a south Indian version add a handful of grated coconut in the recipe.
