Raita makes a perfectly easy cooling sauce to cover your delicious spicy Indian dishes and add a touch of creaminess to any meal. I made this simple cucumber mint raita that pared well with my chicken curry dish. Pineapple raita is the perfect condiment to any spicy Indian curry and tastes best when chilled. Other fruit raitas include, Banana raita, Mango raita, Guava raita, Grape raita, and Pomegranate raita. For best results use thick yogurt since the pineapple is heavy and wet, it will easily dilute the yogurt making it wet and not too delicious. You want the pineapple raita to be creamy and thick to enjoy it even more. For my green onion flat bread I served with a delicious onion raita that blended so well with all the flavors of the flat bread. This pineapple raita is fresh, creamy,spicy yet sweet at the same time. You will not want to eat Indian cuisine any other way or without a raita dip to accompany it!
