Capsicum Raita, a simple and delicious side dish made from curd and bell pepper/capsicum. In Tamilnadu, onion raita is quite a staple raita and it's widely served as a side dish for biryani, parotta and chapathi both in restaurants and in houses. Also, in South Tamilnadu and in Kerala, we're making "Thayir pachadi" with a lot of country vegetables like ash gourd, cucumber and okra which is somewhat similar to raita.

If you like capsicum flavor, then you must give this raita a try, it's simply awesome and tastes great as a side dish for all types of rotis ! Now let's check out the recipe.
