India is famous for the variety of food and drinks that are often loved across the globe. We have various cuisines for different times of the day. Among the thousands of traditional dishes in Indian cuisine, raita is one of the most favourites in the country. Most people love this popular drink, but do you know its name in English?
When it comes to a proper Indian meal, raita is a mandatory drink that is served all over the country. Whether at lunch or breakfast, it is often said that raita enhances the taste of the food. Having Raita during the scorching summer is also said to be good as it helps to keep the body cool.
This is one of the most consumed drinks in India, but very few people know the dish’s name in English. The famous drink is made by mixing yoghurt with some ingredients. Some people even add various flavours to experiment with the taste of the dish. The English term for raita is mixed curd. Many foreign dishes are close to raita like curd salad, salad with curd seasoning and curd dip, but the preparation of these dishes is not even close to raita. Raita is often mixed with cucumber. Many people also mix rose seasoning with raita to give it a different taste.

For example, let us take up the popular street food pani puri. It is also called golgappa in various parts of the country. In English, the dish is called Water Balls.
