Aloo in a raita? Yes please but with a fiery twist.
This isnβt your regular bowl of curd. The ππππ€π ππ₯π¨π¨ πππ’ππ is where warm, spiced potatoes meet cool, whisked dahi creating that perfect hot-and-cold contrast we crave on summer afternoons.
Itβs bold, comforting, and has just enough crunch and heat to wake up even the laziest lunch plates. A little indulgent, totally refreshing and far from boring.
