Thayir Pachadi (Without vegetables) – Plain Raita
Thayir Pachadi is one of the traditional sides in any south Indian wedding or a function. These Plain Raita can also be used as a side for Rotis or Parathas for a north Indian meal.
This is a quick thayir pachadi/ plain raita that is made without any vegetable. I have often eaten this pachadi in the weddings and love it with sambhar rice and rasam rice. Also I like to dip my vadai into this pachadi. All you need is yogurt and basic seasoning ingredients.
