Uses of Raita Masala:
Raita masala is a flavourful spice blend specifically crafted to enhance the taste of raita—a yogurt-based Indian side dish. It is sprinkled over cucumber, boondi, onion, or mixed vegetable raita to add a tangy, spicy twist.
It can also be used in salads, buttermilk (chaas), dahi bhalla, and curd rice to elevate the flavour. It offers a perfect balance of salt, spice, and sourness that complements cooling yogurt.
Benefits of Raita Masala:
Raita masala typically contains roasted cumin, black salt, black pepper, dry mint, and other digestive spices. It aids digestion, improves gut health, and helps reduce bloating and acidity.
The spices in it have antioxidant and antimicrobial properties that support overall wellness. When added to yogurt, it enhances not just taste but also promotes better nutrient absorption and keeps the stomach cool, especially in hot weather.
