Method:
- Dice the fresh carrot and steam till lightly tender. Should not be too crunchy for this Raita. I like to steam in the microwave on high for 2 minutes. Cool completely.
- Add the thick yogurt to a bowl and whisk well.
- Add the chopped green chilli, celery, and spring onion.
- Add salt to taste and a dash of pepper.
- Add the cooled carrot and stir through.
- Lastly, add the garlic powder and adjust seasonings.
- Serve with any rice dish of your choice or the Tomato Garlic Rice on the Intro page.

Notes:
- Steaming the carrot till slightly tender makes the Raita easier to eat, while not compromising on flavor. Steam the diced carrot instead of boiling in water for best results.
- The yogurt needs to be very thick and creamy and sour as well. I like to mix Sour Indian yogurt with regular yogurt to get the best flavor.
